Yep. Would be like Die Hard without John

Disney is currently re-imaging the franchise with Margot Robbie. No idea if it's a continuation, or something new, but they're actively developing a new Pirates movie that Margot Robbie will star in.

Pirate Margot makes me feel funny

I imagine as they start creating/filming the Robbie edition they'll be constantly doing marketing tests on how people feel about Johnny Depp. If it gets above a certain threshold of tolerance, he'll film a Geoffrey Rush/POTC 2 esque cameo that they can either cut or keep. Drop him in at the end of the film as a teaser for the next one. If people go bananas, he'll be the co-headliner in Pirates 7: Too Pirate, Too Parrot.

Or Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford. You can't replace or recast him. He made that franchise, and he IS that franchise. Anything else is just a cheap knockoff.
