The petition that will change Johnny Depp’s life forever
As of this writing, the petition has surpassed a new milestone of nearly 710,000 signatures from around the world. After accumulating one million signatures, Depp’s petition will be one of the most signed on Change.org!
Since his firing, the actor’s devoted fans have publicly fought for his reinstatement. Within the online petition, JD fan Riza Siddiqi has requested the Disney Company to rehire Depp for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 6’, which will also star Margot Robbie.
Siddiqi begins by reminding fans that the actor “has been playing this role since 2003”. It was then when fans first saw him arrive at the Port Royal in his boat; while the “epic” background music played. As a result, without Depp, there would be “no epic entry scores and no humorous dialogues”.
The petitioner also goes on to reinstate Johnny Depp’s value as Sparrow and feels that “they will sink, they will never be able to reach that horizon”. Siddiqi further pleads fans to sign this petition, especially “for the ones who REALLY want Johnny Depp as their Captain of the Black Pearl”!
Jerry Bruckheimer wants Johnny Depp back?
Jerry Bruckheimer and The Walt Disney Company are the targets of the ‘Johnny Depp Captain Jack’ petition. While Bruckheimer and Depp have been close friends in the past, it is unknown if they are at least on talking terms.
Not too long ago, the TV and Film producer stated that he “didn’t know” what Johnny Depp’s role would be in the upcoming film. As reported by Collider in 2020, Producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that a draft was in the making and that they had been “working on it for a little bit.”
He mentioned that they are currently working on a draft and that they hope to have it soon and give it to Disney. Lastly, he expressed his hope that they would like it. Either way, rumour has it that Disney is rethinking resurrecting Johnny Depp for the next ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ instalment. The overwhelming number of fans who have expressed their admiration for the actor on social media platforms like “Twitter” could play a major factor in this.
