Fans of the immensely popular 「Pirates of the Caribbean」 franchise were shocked recently to learn that the series plans to move on with another new installment, but this time without its principal star, Johnny Depp. However, it seems the move could be a multimillion dollar save for the Mouse House.

廣受歡迎的《加勒比海盜》系列電影的粉絲們最近得知，該系列計劃再拍一部續集，但這次主演不再是約翰尼?德普了。不過，此舉可能為迪士尼節省數百萬美元。

In addition to a slew of personal issues associated with the 55-year-old star as of late, Forbes reports that the studio could save close to $90 million by not including Depp』s iconic Captain Jack Sparrow character. The outlet notes he received that much for appearing in the fifth installment 「Dead Men Tell No Tales」 in 2017. That』s a hefty chunk of the film』s estimated $230 million budget, especially considering it only made $172,558,876 domestically, according to Box Office Mojo. While it was technically a successful movie, with its worldwide gross estimated at $794,861,794, it』s still a far cry from what the franchise used to do in its heyday.

據《福布斯》報道，除開一系列與這位55歲影星（德普）有關的個人問題外，不再用他飾演經典的傑克?斯派洛船長，迪士尼工作室還可以節省近9000萬美元。該雜誌指出，他在出演2017年的第五部續集《死無對證》時獲得了這麼高的片酬。據電影票房統計網站Box Office Mojo的數據所示，這一片酬在該片2.3億美元的預算中佔了相當大的比例，尤其是考慮到該片在美國本土的票房收入僅為172,558,876美元。雖然從技術上講，它是一部成功的電影，全球票房估計為794,861,794美元，但與該系列在全盛時期的表現仍相去甚遠。

Johnny Depp will not appear in the next installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.

約翰尼?德普將不會出現在《加勒比海盜》系列電影的下一部中。

As a result, Disney seems to be setting a new course for the films』 sixth installment by putting it in the hands of 「Deadpool」 writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to breathe new life into the series. In other words, fans can expect the sixth film to be drastically different from the previous five, with the biggest difference being the loss of Jack Sparrow.

因此，迪士尼似乎為第六部設定了一條新的道路，讓《死侍》的編劇瑞德?瑞斯和保羅?沃尼克來為這部電影注入新的活力。換句話說，影迷們可以期待第六部電影會與前五部有很大的不同，最大的不同是沒有了傑克?斯派洛船長。

The move is bold, but it』s a quick way to potentially save a third of the film』s budget by foregoing the inclusion of Depp in favor of some less expensive new blood. In addition, it』s a good time for Disney to distance itself from the former star of the franchise. As previously reported, Depp is selling off a lot of real estate after a legal battle with his former business managers who he claims mishandled his money. At the same time, he was in the midst of an ongoing public feud with his ex, Amber Heard, after she accused him of domestic violence.

此舉是大膽的，但通過放棄用德普，換一些片酬不那麼高的新血液是一個快速的方法，可能節省三分之一的電影預算。此外，對於迪士尼來說，這也是一個很好的時機，讓自己與這部系列電影的前明星拉開距離。此前有報道稱，德普在與他的前商業經理髮生法律糾紛後，出售了大量房地產。德普稱這些經理對他的財產處理不當。與此同時，他的前妻艾梅柏?希爾德指控他有家庭暴力行為，而他也因此陷入了與她的公開恩怨之中。

Depp, however, denies those claims. Still, it shines a negative light on the star, which Disney seems to be backing away from during a time when it desperately needs to change the 16-year-old swashbuckling franchise or risk seeing it sink forever.

不過德普否認了這些指控。儘管如此，這些報道還是給這位明星帶來了負面影響。迪士尼迫切需要改變這部有著16年歷史的傳奇系列電影，否則就可能眼看著它永遠沉寂下去，這個時候德普似乎被它放棄了。
