It's not the new Jack Sparrow. It's the new lead in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and I don't care.


Jesus Christ dude, Jack sparrow was a metaphor for the lead character for this amazing series, which is now going to be fricked

There was no black woman pirate named Anne Bonny. There was a white, irish woman pirate named Anne Bonny.
But there's the rub. It's not enough to make a pirate movie with a black lead. There has to be a race swap to make their tiresome point once again.

And there's nothing connecting this Disney movie to Anne Bonny besides speculation when fans found out the character name was Anne.

The movie hasnt even started casting yet, Anne may be a placeholder name. If they were casting her to play Anne Bonny, they'd probably include the last name

I think they should cast a redhead and name the character Redd, like the character at Disneyland. It would be a mirror of what they did with Jack sparrow

Without Zoe Saldana as the black chick lead, I'm not interested. I'll just play AC Black Flag and watch Black Sails again.

I read that top 5 women pornographic fantasies include pirates (billionaires, vampires, werewolves, and doctors filling out the remainder of the pornographic fantasies)

Casting a woman in a pirate movie could go one of two ways.
Play up the fantasy with a dominating male costar.
Or
Bomb the entire movie with the female being the next perfect captain marvel badass.

The character is based off of an Irish woman. Were Irish women black?

They called themselves Black Irish and claimed ancestry from shipwrecked Spaniards to hide their African lineage.

Usually appears to be on the just-woke-up scale.

He doesn't.

He does register very strongly on the triggered "defend him because we think people are canceling him" scale.
