Summary

Ayo Edebiri said she received “insane death threats” after Elon Musk shared a false report claiming she would replace Johnny Depp in a Pirates of the Caribbean reboot.

The rumor, posted by a right-wing account with no industry ties, was never confirmed by credible sources. Musk, who commented “Disney sucks,” amplified the hoax.

Edebiri later called Musk an idiot and a fascist for promoting fascist right-wing rhetoric.

Meanwhile, producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed a reboot is in development but did not confirm Depp’s involvement.

    If you don’t like the direction of a movie or show, you can just watch something else. There is an entire caustic critic industry based around complaining about Disney. It is sad.
