MADRID, Feb 9. (CultureLeisure) –
Elon Musk continues to expand his controversies to the world of cinema and series. After helping Gina Carano to take legal action against Disney Due to his dismissal in The Mandalorian, the owner of X (Twitter) once again curses the House of Mouse. On this occasion, due to the rumors circulating about Pirates of the Caribbean reboot, with Ayo Edebiri replacing Johnny Depp in the lead role.
The last time the actor sailed the seas how the crazy captain Jack Sparrow It was in 2017 with Salazar’s revenge. After the lukewarm reception of the film, which although it grossed 800 million dollars at the box office did not repeat the success of the previous ones, the studio chose to rethink the future of the franchise.
In this sense, Deep’s scandal with his ex-wife, Amber Heardand her subsequent court battle with cross accusations of domestic violence, played a crucial role as Disney sought to take Pirates of the Caribbean beyond the adventures of Jack Sparrow. After rumors about a possible reboot with female protagonists and a cast headed by Margot Robbieand possible sequels with time jumps, it was not until June 2023 when Sean Bailey, one of the company’s executives, revealed to The New York Times that there were plans for a new installment.
In fact, the latest information indicates that the studio would be considering replacing Depp in favor of Edebiriin the new chapter of the saga of Pirates of the Caribbean, where she would take on the role of Anne. In this sense, the character’s name could be a clear allusion to the legendary pirate of Irish descent, Anne Bonny.
However, the possible choice of American actresswinner of an Emmy and a Golden Globe for playing Sydney Ademu in the FX series, The Bear, It is something that Musk has not been amused by at all..
After echoing the news, the businessman, who seems to persist in his efforts to maintain a crusade against Disney and his, in his opinion, excessive political correctness and ‘woke’ agent, has not hesitated to charge against the company again. And to do this he has used, as it could not be otherwise, his own social network in his own X profile, which “Disney sucks.”
