So far, the source of the Depp Drop is one guy whose connection to the franchise is not that deep. All the internet reporting so far goes back to that one interview with no confirmation from any other sources.

The "Depp Drop"
That sounds like an amusement park attraction that is fun & entertaining the first time, but gradually gets more mundane, and can give some guests bruises.

The comment was made by Stuart Beattie, who created Jack Sparrow. Though his name appears in the credits in all 5 films, that's pretty much it. The only film that he was involved in the making of was CotBP. Like you said, no deep connection to the franchise, or the company. I wouldn't pay him or his comments any attention.

Johnny Depp wasn't the reason for it's success. He was a major part, but not the reason.
One can hope.

Thank God. If Ted and Terry aren’t going to write it, I don’t want P6.

I don't know, I would prefer pirates over ANY of the live action remakes they are puking out.

Looks like they’ve moved on from Margot Robbie and are circling another actress for the lead role:

Looks like Disney got tired of destroying its other billion dollar franchises (Star Wars, Marvel, Indiana Jones) and has moved on to the next one. They should just burn the money every night in a ceremony in Adventureland; it would be faster.

We’ll she’s probably near the highest paid actress…so it could be only that?

I love the actress in The Bear. She has a quirky endearing demeanor. Whether that is enough to rejuvenate an expensive* moribund franchise, or whether her supporting TV presence** can open and carry a film, is anyone’s guess.
* there is only so much you can do to make epic ocean-based adventure films on the cheap.
** her costar on The Bear’s most recently well regarded film, with a much more well known cast, has only made $36M at the box office - and he’s a much more visible presence in The Bear’s marketing.
