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.

    I also think in the next Bond movie James should lose his mind and have to be dealt with by agent 009, Janice Stock 😆

    “What? We didn’t change James Bond!”

      Honestly, in my mind the codenumber 007 is reserved for the most elite agents and the moniker “James Bond” is a transferable identity given to the best of the 007s.

      And no corporation will ever dissuade me
