Johnny Depp Nixing a Female Villain in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales'
Terry Rossio, who wrote the screenplays for the first four Pirates of the Caribbean movies, revealed earlier this year that Johnny Depp rejected his version of the script for the fifth film in the franchise because it featured a female villain.
"My version of Dead Men Tell No Tales was set aside because it featured a female villain," he wrote, "and Johnny Depp was worried that would be redundant to Dark Shadows, which also featured a female villain." Uhhh....WHAT.
