This news comes despite the chequered history between Depp and the franchise.
Part ofJack Sparrow’s appeal was his cutting witand sarcastic humor.
She was a participant in Jack Sparrow’s romance subplot and also a member of the Blackbeard rescue plot.
Penelope Cruz played Angelica in 2011’sPirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
Angelica’s absorption into the Blackbeard plotdidn’t appear to do her character justice.
Or, perhaps, especially because he was her father.
Exploring the psychology of Angelica’s obsession with her father could have helped justify her behavior.
As such, her potential was finally sacrificed for benefit Ian McShane’s Blackbeard.
It was a shame, brilliant though McShane was.
A proper break-up or a redemptive and conclusive understanding between the two is needed.
Cruz should return alongside Depp, should he rejoinPirates of the Caribbeanfor its next outing.
But if he doesn’t, Cruz is the perfect lead forPirates of the Caribbean 6.
