According to movie insiders, Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp wants Russell Brand to star in the next movie of the franchise because he could add a new element to the blockbuster.
“Johnny is a big fan of Russell’s and ultimately he has a big say in who he works with,” revealed one Hollywood insider. “The idea is to give Jack a new sidekick — someone who will bring out a new side to the character. This will also be a massive opportunity for Russell and establish him among the Hollywood A-list.”
Johnny Depp has previously confessed he loves playing Captain Jack Sparrow in the smash hit movie franchise. “They’ll wheel me in,” he said on the possibility of being an old Jack. “My dreads will get tangled in the wheels of my chair. With a character like Captain Jack, you feel like you could just continue. The possibilities are endless and limitless. There is any possibility of madness and absurdity that could commence, so you feel that, with this character, you’re never really done.”
