There are currently a few different ideas being touted for future installments in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, but none of them include Johnny Depp’s iconic Captain Jack Sparrow.
While Kevin McNally, who has played Jack Sparrow’s First Mate Mr. Gibbs throughout the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, is not against further adventures, he clearly has an issue with Johnny Depp’s exclusion, believing that it is the character of Jack Sparrow that led to the franchise becoming so popular in the first place.
Well, this is something that does not sit right with Depp’s Pirates co-star, Kevin McNally, who personally cannot see any reason why Jack Sparrow should not return.
It’s impossible to deny that Depp’s performance as Jack Sparrow elevated the Pirates of the Caribbean into the upper echelons of the cultural zeitgeist, but surely there are more stories to tell outside of Sparrow?
