Captain Jack is back…again.

I know that the world can’t get enough Johnny Depp, especially when he channels the 1980’s version of David Bowie.  To quench everyone’s desire for more swashbuckling action, Depp will return as Captain Jack Sparrow for Pirates of the Carribean 4: On Stranger Tides.  More from The Wrap,

Johnny Depp drew gasps of delight from the crowd when he appeared on stage in full Captain Jack regalia.

“Where’s the talking frog?” he queried, referring to Disney’s upcoming “Princess and the Frog” movie. “Where has the frog gone? I like those – tastes like chicken,” he said, weaving around the stage.

“Time for some rum,” Cook said.

Depp was there to officially announce the fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean,” which will be released during the summer 2011 under the moniker “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”

Forgive my indifference, as I’ve genuinely enjoyed the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but I’m just not ready for the fourth iteration in this series.  I’m very afraid that this movie will kill all of the mystique that was created with the first three movies; which wrapped up quite nicely.  Sure, Disney will make a “boat load” of money on the 4th movie (so will Depp, reportedly), but is it worth the risk to tarnish the legacy (for lack of a better word) of one of their most famous characters of all time?

It all seems so “Brett Favre” to me.
