Johnny Depp Had a Hard Time Following the Plot in 'Pirates' 2 and 3

If the second and third Pirates of the Caribbean movies left you feeling confused, you're not alone. Johnny Depp admits in a new interview that he felt lost on the set of the two sequels.

“They had to invent a trilogy out of nowhere,” he toldEntertainment Weekly. “It was plot driven and complicated. I remember talking to [director Gore Verbinski] at certain points during production of two or three, and saying: ‘I don’t really know what this means.’ He said, ‘Neither do I, but let’s just shoot it.’ This guy is this guy’s dad, and this guy was in love with this broad. It was like, ‘What?’”

Depp explains that for the fourth movie, the material was stripped down to its basic components, and a new, simpler story was developed to avoid overlapping plot lines that might lose the audience. Depp, whose Jack Sparrow character is the heart of the franchise, said he doesn't know how those other two sequels turned out.

“To be perfectly honest, I didn’t see them,” he said.. “I did see the first one. I have not seen the second one or the third one.”
