re: Disney at it again, replacing Johnny Depp

It’s explained that this project was originally developed with the new woman pirate from the Disneyland ride, Redd, in mind to lead the movie. At one point, Guardians of the Galaxy star Karen Gillan was said to be in line to play the character. Obviously, plans have changed and the focus now is on "a younger cast of pirates looking for a hidden treasure."
As for the other Pirates film, Margot Robbie is reportedly still attached to that one to play the lead in a new female-fronted Pirates movie, which is being developed by Birds of Prey writer Christina Hodson. It was reported that this movie was not moving forward, but I guess that report was wrong.
The version that Ayo Edebiri is up for is being developed by Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin and previous Pirates films writer Ted Elliot. This film is much farther along than the other one and if one goes first, it will be this one.

Neither of the movies will have any connection to the original franchise starring Johnny Depp, Keira Knightly, and Orlando Bloom

The only place anyone said she was replacing Depp and going to play Ann Bony, the Irish Pirate, was some far right nut job on Twitter trying to get views and likes.

Do a little research and quit talking everyone thing you read from The Economic Times (never heard of it tbh) as gospel.

It's so easy to get some people riled up. All you have to tweet is Disney, Woman, Lead, and people will lose their shite. LOL

Oh now I see where Elon retreated the far right person on Twitter as if it were fact. What a tool
