Johnny Depp, once the top-billing actor in the world, appears to have been dropped from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” the blockbuster film series he helped make famous, according to a report.
There were rumors saying Depp, 55, would be jettisoned from the franchise, but now, Disney’s production head, Sean Bailey, essentially confirmed his departure. Depp played Captain Jack Sparrow after 14 years as the lead actor in the series, which has grossed more than $4.5 billion across five films.
