This news has left the netizens furious. A majority of users have dismissed the casting idea and stated that no one can replace Johnny. For the unversed, Depp has helmed the billion-dollar franchise Pirates of the Caribbean by playing the popular character Captain Jack Sparrow to perfection. So, let's check the reaction of netizens. 

Here are some reactions

On Wednesday, a jury found in Johnny Depp's favour in his libel action against ex-wife Amber Heard, confirming his belief that Heard made up allegations of abuse by Johnny before and during their brief marriage. Amber defamed Johnny by claiming to be a victim of domestic abuse, according to the jury's unanimous ruling. Amber was compelled to pay $15 million in restitution.

Amber claimed that Johnny's counsel defamed her when he branded her abuse allegations as fake. According to the jury, Johnny Depp should be paid $15 million in damages, while Amber Heard should be awarded $2 million. Johnny filed a libel suit against Amber in Fairfax County Circuit Court after she authored an op-ed in The Washington Post in December 2018 characterising herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse."
