Disney has undoubtedly made numerous mistakes in the recent past, and now it seems to be heading towards another major mistake with Pirates of the Caribbean 6. After making a jaw-dropping number of flops, in association with once-untouchable studios like Pixar and Marvel, Disney is now heading for Johnny Depp’s Pirates franchise.
Previously dooming Brie Larson’s The Marvels, Disney appears to be repeating the recurring mistake for even Pirates of the Caribbean 6. Meanwhile, despite teasing Johnny Depp’s return, the studio appears to be handling things differently, as per an industry scooper.
Disney Appears to be Repeating The Marvels Mistake
Disney is currently making headlines for its upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 6, which has been in talks for years. But right now, it’s unclear whether the film will be a direct sequel to the last Pirates movie or a spin-off release. Previously it was teased that the studio would be proceeding with a storyline that would bring back Johnny Depp, but now it seems they are willing to work on Margot Robbie’s all-female pitch.
Therefore, according to the NZ Herald, it has been reported that Disney is allegedly eyeing Ayo Edebiri to take on the role of a real-life pirate Anne Bonny. But fans aren’t quite happy with the idea of a Black woman playing the role of a White individual. Therefore, slamming Disney for trying to use the woke agenda, that previously doomed Brie Larson‘s The Marvels, fans are expressing their disappointment.
Netizens believe that if Disney proceeds with their woke agenda and brings an all-female cast like The Marvels, they will be repeating the same recurring mistake. Previously critics claimed that since Brie Larson’s movie was increasingly woke, it turned off many fans with forced female empowerment. Thus, Disney’s unnecessary attempt at promoting inclusiveness in the upcoming Pirates movie, appears to be the same mistake, which netizens predict might tank the movie at the box office.
Dilemma Surrounding Johnny Depp’s Return in the Pirates Franchise
Moreover, fans are upset with the news of the dilemma surrounding Johnny Depp’s return to the franchise. After industry scooper MyTimeToShineHello noted that the Studio is unsure of Depp’s return, fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the report. Willing to see their favorite Captain Jack Sparrow take on his eccentric role, fans are slamming Disney.
Calling out Disney’s attempt at turning every popular franchise into a female-driven property, fans noted how they destroyed Dial of Destiny as they forcefully tried to make Phoebe Waller-Bridge the next Indiana Jones. However, with Disney previously teasing Johnny Depp’s return as Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, fans found a glimmer of hope.
But now with the studio trying to get hold of Ayo Edebiri in the lead role, it seems Disney is planning to bring Johnny Depp back, but not in a lead role. Sidelining Depp to a secondary role, the studio seems to following the same woke agenda that once doomed the Indiana Jones franchise, and further destroyed The Marvels.
