Fans demanded Johnny Depp's return to "Pirates of the Caribbean"

Fans of Johnny Depp demanded to return the actor to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise and allow him to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow. A petition to that effect was published on the popular site Change and has collected at the time of this writing almost 500 thousand signatures.
Johnny Depp has been a phenomenal actor throughout his career. Depp was stripped of his role in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise by Disney. Unfortunately, this is due to the fact that his ex-wife Amber Heard lied and claimed that Depp beat her. It has been proven that he did not hit her, on the contrary, that she hit him repeatedly. She not only ruined her career, she ruined Johnny Depp's life," reads the appeal.
Recall that at the libel trial, Depp's witnesses said that as a result of the conflict with his ex-wife, which went public, he lost the already agreed contract to participate in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" and an impressive fee of 22.5 million dollars.
The fate of the project is still unknown. It was thought that Disney Studios would want to completely reboot the series, probably focusing it on a female character.
