Ayo Edebiri Rumored To Replace Johnny Depp As Lead For Disney’s ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’

Rumors have it that Ayo Edebiri could potentially step into Johnny Depp’s shoes as the new lead in Disney’s ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’ and fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation. The controversy surrounding Depp’s departure from the franchise has been a major talking point since Disney announced his removal following a highly publicized defamation case involving his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Despite rumors of Disney attempting to negotiate his return, Depp reportedly declined any offers during the legal proceedings, expressing his deep attachment to the character of Captain Jack Sparrow and his creative input into the role. With Depp’s exit, speculation has been rife about who might fill the iconic role, initially focusing on Margot Robbie. However, plans for a female-led Pirates project appeared to have lost momentum. Now, attention has shifted to Ayo Edebiri, with reports suggesting she is being considered for the role of Anne, possibly based on the historical pirate Anne Bonny, in the upcoming installment tentatively titled Pirates 6. While there’s no official confirmation yet, fans are hopeful that Edebiri’s involvement will bring fresh energy to the beloved franchise.
