Regarding the actor who will take Johnny Depp's place as Jack Sparrow in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean motion pictures, there has been much speculation. There have been rumors and discussions about a number of actors and actresses potentially replacing the legendary character, though nothing has been officially confirmed. Margot Robbie, who is reportedly in talks to star in a Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, is one name that has come up frequently. It's unclear, though, whether she'll be portraying a different character or replacing Jack Sparrow. Mads Mikkelsen, who took over for Depp in the Fantastic Beasts franchise as Grindelwald, has also been mentioned as an actor. It is unclear, though, if he has received official consideration for the part of Jack Sparrow. There were also rumors that Dwayne Johnson might take over from Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, but this notion was not well received by the public. There have been rumors that Jack Sparrow might die off-screen or that a new character would take over the franchise and tell a completely different tale.
