I have heard WB paid close attention to the trial to see the results. After he lost they talked about reducing his role for the sequel but now the decision was made to recast Depp. With Disney talks have stopped so he won't be coming back to the PotC franchise either.

I still don't think people fully understand how devastating that Sun verdict was. Things could get more legally challenging for Depp and no studio is going to want to deal with that.
Understandable why this decision was made given all of the bad PR WB has had lately across the board, not just this franchise. It's a bit of a bummer though because Depp was arguably one of, if not the best part of the last movie. I wonder who they'll recast him with. Colin Farrell would be the best option but I'm not sure how this would fit with his Batman schedule. I'd love for them to cast Christian Bale because I think he'd fit seamlessly and perfectly into the role. I think they considered casting him as Dumbledore at one point. But he has Thor 4 to do so I'm not sure how his schedule breaks down. Do you know any names they may go after?
This is so wrong.
