The petition asserted that Johnny Depp has been out recently as Jack Sparrow and one of the reasons is his personal issues. It further stated that Johnny Depp has been playing this role since 2003 when his fans first saw him arriving at the Port Royal in his boat with the epic background music playing, so how can one imagine someone else portraying the role instead of him. It continued that even if this means nothing to anyone, the petition requested the reader to sign it for the ones who really want Johnny Depp as their Captain of the Black Pearl. The petition also added that they will have to bring him back to rule the seas again or none of the fans will ever watch any 'Pirates of The Caribbean' movie without their Captain.

Many other fans stated that nobody could ever replace Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow and it would be unfair to drop him from the franchise because of his personal issues as none of them knows whether the allegations made were true.
