Although Jack Sparrow is integral to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, it needs to move on to other characters and use fewer Sparrow gimmicks.

Disney is currently working on Pirates of the Caribbean 6, as the swashbuckling world is set to return at some stage in the future. Initially based on a popular Disneyland attraction, the franchise has become one of Disney's most successful of all time, leading to incredible box office success and commercial acclaim.

The uniqueness of Jack Sparrow's character, so closely tied to Depp's persona, presents a unique challenge if he is replaced.

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has long been defined by its adventurous spirit and quirky humor, largely thanks to Johnny Depp's portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow. However, the series has struggled to maintain its charm over the years.
