Well your dismissing him as though he isn't worth the time seemed harsh. I dunno though I can picture him in that role easily considering the Dope Hat ep/album had stron references to the movie and his general portrayal in the videos etc. were right on the money as to the darker side of the story.

Depp seems a bit cartoony in the role from the trailers preview. I realize that the character was always a little over the top but I don't know that Depp isn't going to go a bit too far. If he plays it much like his character on Pirates then it will work...if he goes much further past that he could be destroying a great opportunity in this role.
