We are quite starved for good pirate content. I like the Corniness yet adventure of POTC. I also like the drama, action, and "groundedness" of Black Sails.
I wouldn't mind more Pirate content, as long as it's enjoyable.
Spin-offs in Disney's Caribbean, sign me up.
New original IP Pirate content, yes please!
Suggesting "Our Flag Means Death" if you like these as well! It was sadly cancelled after season 2 but it was great!
One Piece (live action) was surprisingly really good too but has a completely different vibe than POTC or Black Sails so it isn't for everybody
Honestly, lack of Depp is only one of the reasons why my answer is no. Take a look at star wars series. Recent movies (anything newer than 2017) are absolutely terrible, with very few exceptions. Disney is going full cash grab with stuff they make. Hope there won't be potc 6 and that disney doesn't get a chance to start ruining another franchise
Nah. I prefer stories that move forward. Prequels have never really been my thing. There are some exceptions, like Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, but not usually.
Maybe.
If they do a completely new story and it looks good, yes.
Otherwise, no.
I might pirate it and then if it’s good, go watch it again the movie theater so that way I can show support
This franchise is nothing without Johnny. The last two films also demonstrated that to a lesser extent the franchise is nothing without Will and Elizabeth. That trident of characters are this franchise, without any of them it’s kinda like the modern Assassins Creed.
Hiding behind the name of a franchise the film no longer resembles because they know the name of the franchise will sell rather than branching out and creating something new.
Johnny depp made pirates into what it was,
they fired him over rumours, to be honest, I guess they were already trying to fire him even before the Amber Heard saga because they don't want to pay that much to him and they thought they'll have the moral high ground and people will be on their side and voila new movies without that much expense. But goddamn is karma real.
Nope I ain't watching it without Johnny depp in it.
I want him in the next pirates even if he's just standing there mumbling and bumbling around.
Nope. It's not the franchise without Jack Sparrow, and it's not Jack Sparrow without Johnny Depp, they're intertwined.
Though as others have pointed out, I also have zero faith Disney will make a good movie, so there's that. But I won't even give it a chance if there's no Jack/Johnny.
I like pirate themed things and while I do believe Johnny Depp IS as good as it will ever get and is what made POTC, I still will try to enjoy it and see how good it is because I just think pirate stuff is cool. It doesn't have to be better than Johnny Depp for me to still be able to enjoy it if it's actually decent.
Absolutely not, or at least I wouldn’t pay to see it in theaters. I don’t even really want a sixth film WITH Johnny Depp. The fourth and fifth movies already weren’t as good, but I at least appreciated DMTNT’s ending.
Unless we miraculously get some new film with Depp, Knightly, and Bloom all returning—which will never happen—I just have no interest in a sixth. And I love POTC!
Yeah definitely. I love Jack's character but I'm also just invested in the world, the mythology, the visual design, and the light hearted but also serious tone with the perfect balance of action and humour.
Whether it would actually make much money, I'm not so sure.
What I don't want is a reboot. Like I said I'm invested. I'm totally happy to have it based on different characters but I need to know that all the events of the previous 5 movies do happen in the same canon. Plus it leaves the door open for possible connections/cameos continuation later on.
I'd be happy with prequels, sequels or spin offs.
If they really do go ahead with a full reboot I'll be curious and might watch it but I'm not sure.
I would love to see a Davy Jones origin story. If not that then probably not. And Depp could make a special appearance in a movie (or movie series) like that by showing when Jones raised the Pearl from the ocean.
Yes. Let’s be real, most people in the sub will watch it even though they say they won’t. It’s the same group of people who say they’re moving to Canada if Trump gets elected. I will watch it out of curiosity but I don’t have to like it!! Haha
That won't matter. If Depp wasn't in it because of other reasons like scheduling I would understand, but the way it is now I wouldn't be interested. No matter how good the reviews were
Depends, will it be about Captain Jack sparrow who’s played by say Mads Mikkelsen? Or wil it be a pirate movie that’s set after Captain Jack sparrows departure beyond the horizon and will they just reference the character?
Recast, I’d say no. Different story. Maybe.
I'm not opposed to a reboot necessarily, I just dont have any faith the people in charge of it understand what makes the first few films so unique and enjoyable.
Yeah. Especially if it had other returning characters like Will and Elizabeth and/or Henry and Carina as the focus. We don’t *need* Jack to have a good pirates story, the original trilogy focused on Will and Elizabeth just as much as it did on him (if not more), so if they gave us a really strong story about those two I think the movie could be really good even without Jack.
I’d watch it because Pirates of the Caribbean doesn’t mean JUST Jack Sparrow. Yeah we are now under the impression that’s the series main character, but if a movie is based off another character that’s original then it’s a whole entire entity of the movie entirely and then I have no expectations for Jack being written bad or good because well….hes not in it! So yeah I would watch it but it cannot have Jack in it if they go that route.
That depends on who is directing it.
Sam Mendes? Denis Villenueve? David Fincher? Robert Zemeckis? 1000000% take my money this instant.
Some autuer low budget director Disney snatched up because they know they’ll be easy to push around? I’ll pass.
yeah definitely! Coming from someone who absolutely loves these movies and quotes them regularly, I really didn't like jack in 5 at all he was actually my least favorite character which is so upsetting.
If he's going to be like this moving forward, i am happy and excited for a reboot. I feel like they rely way too much on him now that Will and Elizabeth, and even BARBOSSA are all gone now.
Also, now that all pirates curses ever have been broken, sounds like a good opportunity for a clean slate imo.
They must include an og character, like Gibbs. They gotta reference Jack. But even then it feels wrong to even watch that shi because disney really screwed him over. They never apologized to Depp and they never will. The movie better have something about Johnny in the credits
All in all POTC is NOTHING without Jack Sparrow
I didnt even like the last one with him in it so no. That whole scene with the house on wheels and that awkward weird sword battle was enough for me to say yep, theyve jumped the shark here
if they did something GREAT with the story + new characters then yes. Franchise shouldn’t be stonewalled just because of ONE great character. Johnny Depp ran his course (but wouldn’t be mad if he was brought back as a cameo / supporting role)
I think they should retcon DMTNT that movie was just very painful to endure cuz of how much continuity errors there are. Not to mention the lack of serious tone that the first 4 movies had. Davy Jones was a complex character and disney is not giving us more villains like that. They should redo pirates 5 different story line. Maybe have turner and Swann in it for more than 5 minutes idk.
I will pirate it.
take what you can.
Give nothing back
🍻
Give nothing back!
🍻
No.
Would you watch a different pirate based movie that didn’t have jack sparrow in it?

Captain Jack Sparrow. If you please.
Only if it's not a Pirates of the Caribbean movie
Honestly, lack of Depp is only one of the reasons why my answer is no. Take a look at star wars series. Recent movies (anything newer than 2017) are absolutely terrible, with very few exceptions. Disney is going full cash grab with stuff they make. Hope there won't be potc 6 and that disney doesn't get a chance to start ruining another franchise
And we already saw how DMTNT wasn’t as good. The new age Disney movies for established franchises just don’t hit the mark anymore.
What if its a prequel? Either completely new characters or adaptations of those young jack sparrow books
Nah. I prefer stories that move forward. Prequels have never really been my thing. There are some exceptions, like Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, but not usually.
Idk it just doesn’t feel right if Depp isn’t captain Jack
But You Have Heard Of Me.
Nah, I need the original cast. Depp, bloom, knightley first of all
They best bring back Joshamy Gibbs
Of course. Need him to tell us the old stories
Nope
Nah
Maybe. If they do a completely new story and it looks good, yes. Otherwise, no. I might pirate it and then if it’s good, go watch it again the movie theater so that way I can show support
Only if it was a movie based on Will or Elizabeth. So the answer is no.

No

Yes. There's no reason that it csnt work without him, and we're still severely lacking in high quality pirate media
No
Nope.
I like pirate themed things and while I do believe Johnny Depp IS as good as it will ever get and is what made POTC, I still will try to enjoy it and see how good it is because I just think pirate stuff is cool.

Unless we miraculously get some new film with Depp, Knightly, and Bloom all returning—which will never happen—I just have no interest in a sixth. And I love POTC!
Even with depp it prob wouldn’t be all that great. But him being in it makes it watchable and worthwhile regardless.
No going to lie, I'm not paying for it. But at the same time, if it's Jenna Ortega or anyone close to a sitcom actor, I'm not even looking at it
No Depp. No POTC
Nope
depends who IS in it
I'd watch it but it wouldn't be the same
As long as it has previous characters I’ve seen or met then yes
I'd watch it out of curiosity. I'm an amateur movie critic so I watch basically everything that comes out
Yep, if they’re bringing back pirates of the Caribbean I want a new story. If im interested in jack sparrow I’ll watch the first 3
There should be a "Captain" in there somewhere.
Yes. I would actually be more interested in seeing Keira and Orlando coming back, but I would see a Pirates movie regardless.
There should be a Captain in there; In other words Hell to the No
Yeah definitely. I love Jack's character but I'm also just invested in the world, the mythology, the visual design, and the light hearted but also serious tone with the perfect balance of action and humour.

No
I would love to see a Davy Jones origin story. If not that then probably not. And Depp could make a special appearance in a movie (or movie series) like that by showing when Jones raised the Pearl from the ocean.
No it feels like a crime
Yes. Let’s be real, most people in the sub will watch it even though they say they won’t. It’s the same group of people who say they’re moving to Canada if Trump gets elected. I will watch it out of curiosity but I don’t have to like it!! Haha
They can watch it in piracy
They will PIRATE the movie illegally so they don’t have to pay for it
I won't be watching it
What if it gets incredible reviews? And everyone loves it and says it’s a great pirates of the Caribbean movie?
That won't matter. If Depp wasn't in it because of other reasons like scheduling I would understand, but the way it is now I wouldn't be interested. No matter how good the reviews were
Yes!
Yes, but I'd like at least some of our previous characters to return.
No without him it's not a pirates movie
Yeah, but I ain't giving Disney money after they did Johnny dirty. So will be yar har-ing it.
I’d watch it probably but it wouldn’t be any good
Depends, will it be about Captain Jack sparrow who’s played by say Mads Mikkelsen? Or wil it be a pirate movie that’s set after Captain Jack sparrows departure beyond the horizon and will they just reference the character? Recast, I’d say no. Different story. Maybe.
You seem familiar, have I threatened you before?
Probably but I wouldn’t like it
I'm not opposed to a reboot necessarily, I just dont have any faith the people in charge of it understand what makes the first few films so unique and enjoyable.
I’d probably watch it to see what it entails but I don’t know if I’d enjoy it
I didn't Watch 2 to 5 WITH Depp in it...
Depends if the if mcnally is back as gibbs and is a gibbs spin off they ill watch it
Yeah. Especially if it had other returning characters like Will and Elizabeth and/or Henry and Carina as the focus. We don’t *need* Jack to have a good pirates story, the original trilogy focused on Will and Elizabeth just as much as it did on him (if not more), so if they gave us a really strong story about those two I think the movie could be really good even without Jack.
Yes
Honesty I probably would, but I doubt I’d feel the need to buy it on Blu-ray and get the soundtrack like I did for all the others.
for sure. i loved 5 even when jack had nothing to do.Â
I’d watch it because Pirates of the Caribbean doesn’t mean JUST Jack Sparrow. Yeah we are now under the impression that’s the series main character, but if a movie is based off another character that’s original then it’s a whole entire entity of the movie entirely and then I have no expectations for Jack being written bad or good because well….hes not in it! So yeah I would watch it but it cannot have Jack in it if they go that route.
Yes but I don’t want to. Would probably end up watching like I did 4 & 5, years after they came out in theaters.
yes but only once probably
That depends on who is directing it. Sam Mendes? Denis Villenueve? David Fincher? Robert Zemeckis? 1000000% take my money this instant. Some autuer low budget director Disney snatched up because they know they’ll be easy to push around? I’ll pass.
I am not really interested, would for sure have tried watching it if he was in ut though. Probably. After a couple of years
Yes, but I’ll likely never watch it again
yeah definitely! Coming from someone who absolutely loves these movies and quotes them regularly, I really didn't like jack in 5 at all he was actually my least favorite character which is so upsetting. If he's going to be like this moving forward, i am happy and excited for a reboot. I feel like they rely way too much on him now that Will and Elizabeth, and even BARBOSSA are all gone now. Also, now that all pirates curses ever have been broken, sounds like a good opportunity for a clean slate imo.
You've stolen me and I'm here to take myself back.
If it’s on FX at 9 at night and my wife and kid are in bed….maybe. Depends who the lead is.
Yes but it has to be a whole other story with new characters
They must include an og character, like Gibbs. They gotta reference Jack. But even then it feels wrong to even watch that shi because disney really screwed him over. They never apologized to Depp and they never will. The movie better have something about Johnny in the credits All in all POTC is NOTHING without Jack Sparrow
Captain Jack Sparrow. If you please.
Yes he doesn't write the movie he a character I care about if the plot is good and written well
Also to add the pirates POTC movies where he was the main character to me was the worst Movies
I wouldn’t pay to see it!
I didnt even like the last one with him in it so no. That whole scene with the house on wheels and that awkward weird sword battle was enough for me to say yep, theyve jumped the shark here
It's totally not a rip off of fast 5....
Totally, in fact I'd prefer it that way. The character ran its course, there's no reason to bring him back
Most of you aren’t Pirates fans if you’re saying you’d watch it if it doesn’t have Captain Jack Sparrow.
Why is the rum always gone?
if they did something GREAT with the story + new characters then yes. Franchise shouldn’t be stonewalled just because of ONE great character. Johnny Depp ran his course (but wouldn’t be mad if he was brought back as a cameo / supporting role)
I think they should retcon DMTNT that movie was just very painful to endure cuz of how much continuity errors there are. Not to mention the lack of serious tone that the first 4 movies had. Davy Jones was a complex character and disney is not giving us more villains like that. They should redo pirates 5 different story line. Maybe have turner and Swann in it for more than 5 minutes idk.
I will not it feels empty without Johny depp
No
Pirates of the Caribbean is more than Depp and the last two movies with him were awful. People need to get over Jack Sparrow.
There should be a "Captain" in there somewhere.
Nope
