The scene-stealing turn won both critical praise and fan adulation, reshaping the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels as a result. Soon, the exact opposite proved true, and even The Curse of the Black Pearl's (few) negative reviews singled DeppвЂ™s performance out as the best thing in the movie. The character worried Disney executives before the movieвЂ™s release, as nervous producers thought that DeppвЂ™s campy affectations would fall flat with the target audience of Pirates of the Caribbean. Ever since the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, The Curse of the Black Pearl, hit theatres in 2003 the franchise has been synonymous with Johnny DeppвЂ™s lovable antihero Jack Sparrow.

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise canвЂ™t afford to kill off Johnny DeppвЂ™s Jack Sparrow, but the upcoming Pirates of the CaribbeanВ 6В also canвЂ™t ignore his existence or bring him back - presenting a serious problem for the creators.
