2. Pirates Of The Caribbean 6

Unfortunately for all involved, this one seems less like a creative decision and more a result of difficult personal circumstances for the film's star.

Luckily though, it means more privacy and time to reflect for the actor, and a chance for audiences to avoid another cinematic travesty likes Pirates of the Caribbean 5.

According to the filmmakers, it seems vanishingly unlikely that troubled star Johnny Depp will return as Captain Jack Sparrow for the Disney adventure franchise's upcoming sixth instalment.

Jumanji star Karen Gillan has reportedly been considered as a replacement for the actor. As for Depp, continual rumours of marital, legal, and substance abuses issues have left a career break long overdue for the veteran actor.
