Johnny Depp OUT as Captain Jack Sparrow in the "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN" Franchise

Though I like Depp (and this character), I ended up losing interest after the 3rd movie. They focused way too much on him (in the first and best movie, he's almost in more of a supporting role, rather than a lead) as the series went on, and it stripped him of the mystery that made him such an interesting presence in the first movie. I've thought the character got sort of tired by the end of the 3rd.

Tell me Geoffrey Rush is hanging around though. He (followed closely by the first mate, Gibbs) were the real swash in those buckles for me.
