Johnny Depp has lost a lot of interest in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides the 4th movie in the hit series, here’s some reasoning as to why it is likely to be his last of the Pirate’s movies if he does it at all. And why doing Pirates 5 or 6 is out of the question.

The news that Disney exec Dick Cook was leaving the company was important to the people who work in the studio itself, but the part that got movie fans concerned was Johnny Depp’s suggestion that Cook’s absence might make him less enthusiastic to come back for a fourth movie at all.

Adding to the comments Depp made to the L.A. Times, our tipster is saying that even if he makes the fourth film, he definitely won’t be back for a fifth or sixth. Given that the Pirates franchise was the only live-action property making any money for the studio, they could reach deep in their pockets and keep Depp on for #4, but they’re also preparing to recast the role if he refuses a fifth and sixth film.

Also: Johnny Depp is well aware the second two movies sucked. That didn’t stop him from signing on for a fourth film, of course, but based on his comments last week it seems that his faith in Dick Cook was a lot of what was keeping him on board.

I hope he does make Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, but I don’t expect it to be any better than the last two. At least they are fun movies, but the fact of the matter is, Johnny doesn’t need Pirates movies to continue his career. He knows this.
