User blog comment:J Fan/Are we Downey for P5?/@comment-1140008-20130426041240

I wouldn't mind Downey taking on a new character in P5 that would eventually take the main role from Jack Sparrow if Johnny were to (god forbid) leave the franchise.

However, if they do introduce him in a movie with Depp, it should be with a series of cameos, much like Teague, or perhaps he could play a villain, as to not compete with Jack.
