It appears that Disney is considering making a major change to the casting of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, potentially sidelining Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow. Previously, there were reports that the production studio had put Margot Robbie's all-female Pirates of the Caribbean idea on hold, but it now seems that the project is back in development. Rumor has it that Ayo Edebiri, known for her role in The Bear, has been cast in the lead role, sparking a controversial debate online. Some fans are supporting Disney's decision to replace Depp with Edebiri in order to make the movie more inclusive.

After Johnny Depp was dropped from the sixth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney struggled to find a way to continue the story without him. While the studio initially shelved Margot Robbie's all-female reboot, they have reportedly made headlines by casting Ayo Edebiri as real-life pirate Anne Bonny. This casting decision has sparked debates and controversies online, as some fans are disappointed with Disney's attempt to change the race of a historically white character.

Although the casting of Ayo Edebiri has not been confirmed, many diehard Johnny Depp fans and franchise lovers are expressing their dissatisfaction with Disney's decision.

They can't imagine the franchise without Depp's charismatic Sparrow and fear that the potential casting of Edebiri will lead to the project's failure.

However, there are also fans who are supporting Disney's attempt at inclusiveness. They argue that Pirates of the Caribbean should have included a Black cast from the beginning. These fans are excited about Edebiri's potential casting and criticize those who oppose it for being racist. They also point out the unrealistic aspects of the franchise, such as having a villain who is an octopus-faced man, while arguing that the race of the real-life Anne Bonny should not be a hindrance to diverse casting.

The controversy surrounding Disney's alleged decision to cast Ayo Edebiri in Pirates of the Caribbean has divided fans on social media. While some are against the idea for various reasons, there is a significant group of supporters who defend Disney's choice and highlight the importance of inclusivity and representation in the franchise.
