Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds is no stranger to playing iconic roles. Previously too, the actor almost took up Johnny Depp&#039;s iconic role.

Revisiting the Days When Ryan Reynolds Was Poised To Take Up Johnny Depp’s Most Successful Role

Ryan Reynolds a name that is impossible not to hear in recent times. Over the
years, Ryan has positioned himself as one of the most talented performers of his
generation. From minor roles to playing the main lead, Ryan has proved himself
worthy of every character he plays, playing every part to perfection. However,
as many of us know, the Merc with a mouth got his shot to stardom through his
2016 popular superhero film Deadpool. But do you know Ryan Reynolds had a chance
to star in another iconic role?

Coming from humble beginnings, Ryan stunned the entire world with his undisputed
run of success. Previously, Ryan was all set to feature in the role many of us
adore to this date, Captain Jack Sparrow.


RYAN REYNOLDS, TO STAR IN THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN FILM?

Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the most famous film franchises. However, it
has been almost three years since we last saw Captain Jack Sparrow on screen.
Initially, the film series took off in 2003 with the movie, The Curse of the
Black Pearl. Due to legal problems surrounding Johnny Depp, the actor’s chances
of starring in the role remains uncertain.

In 2020 rumors of Ryan Reynolds starring as Captain Jack Sparrow was floating
around as per an industry insider Daniel Richtman
[https://twitter.com/DanielRPK]. Disney was eyeing The Adam Project star to play
a role in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 6. However, there is still no
confirmation from either of the parties.

The sixth installment of the much-loved Pirates of the Caribbean has been long
awaited. The film was previously announced in 2018, but due to the legal
problems surrounding Mr. Depp, the franchise is going through turbulent times.
Furthermore, Wolf of the Wall Street actress Margot Robbie

has also been in consideration for a new Jack Sparrow-esque character.


FANS NOT IN SUPPORT OF A NEW PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN FILM WITHOUT DEPP

Despite various actors being considered to play the role of Captain Jack
Sparrow, it seems like Depp fans are unwilling to see another actor take the
lead. Amidst these rumors, a series of tweets in favor of Depp flooded the
internet. Furthermore, the rumors of Depp being replaced gave momentum to
several #NoJohnnyNoPirates tweets on Twitter. Here are a few fan tweets:
