Replacing Johnny Depp, she’ll either be playing the historical pirate Anne Bonny or someone based heavily on her.


What the hell happened on the Pirates set that made Zoe Saldana straight refuse to ever be involved w/those movies again?

She gets a ship at the end of the first movie, is a legit star they can push in ads, and has a long list of action roles making it east to accept her as an arse kicking pirate. It's crazy to me that they don't just center a movie on what happens to her after she gets her own ship.

Black people seem to make mostly slavery movies. Except Jordan Peele who makes slavery movies disguised as horror movies.. love Peele's movies though.

Do film studios get large tax incentives to virtue signal? It's the only thing that makes financial sense of this to me.

Yes, but also all the actors guilds aka unions have tons of requirements for this crap

Good. Anything that expedites the destruction of Disney and causes them to lose money is fine with me.

They should feature this guy in another pirate movie:


The story can go either way. At the end of Captain Phillips, he lives. shite, let’s make him immortal.

Gimme a prequel AND a sequel. Take my money!

I saw this, and if Depp truly has no desire to do another Pirates movie, then she is not a bad choice to take over the franchise. A great actress who is a former standup and has been good in comedies.

They literally run the Entertainment industry. And they’re only getting stronger. So you might be waiting a very long time for this.

I hate her in the Bear. That could be intentional to how her character is supposed to be, but I've got a feeling I'd hate her in anything she's in.

Really? How much did they profit from 2023 films? Cause I’ve heard they’re in the red

She's the worst part of The Bear. Every other actor kills it, but she seems relatively untalented by comparison. And if Disney actually thinks that SHE can replace Depp and Jack Sparrow and the movie will make even 50% of what a flick with him back would earn, then Musk should just be given the company for free.

I haven’t watched CotBP in so long I didn’t even realize she was the lady pirate in it. She wasn’t really big time until a few years later, but this is a great shout that ties into canon history. Plus, Zoe has been awesome for years now.

Who knows if this turns out true or not, but you should wait for the trades to report this. This was started by a "scooper" on Twitter, who's wrong a lot. And here's that scoopers response to this:


Yeah I doubt this gets made even if this rumor has a basis. I don’t think there is any demand for another Pirates movie, let alone for one like this. This might be like the endless Star Wars movie projects that get announced then forgotten.
