The franchise is being rebooted with Margot Robbie in a storyline separate from that of Captain Jack Sparrow.
So far, Johnny Depp has remained attached to another franchise, Fantastic Beasts, which has a third movie in the works.
Pirates of the Caribbean came into play briefly in this court case, as well, as Amber Heard alleged Johnny Depp basically took her “hostage” during a break from the franchise’s filming in 2015.
Meanwhile, the Disney franchise has moved on seemingly without Depp.
