re: Disney at it again, replacing Johnny Depp

Anyone taking the lead of this franchise who hasn’t been previously connected with it is probably going to fail miserably.

Angelica (Penelope Cruz) or Anamaria (Zoe Saldana) would make sense from a story perspective. Elizabeth Swann Turner (Kiera Knightly) would too but she has pretty much written off doing any more of them due to how long they take to shoot.


Pulling in an outsider and immediately making them the lead just screams “doomed from the start” given how much these movies cost to make.
