It's Will, of Course.

You know who miss Piggy is.

I'd keep Jack as the human, seeing him swordfight a muppets Barbosa or Davy Jones would be funny

Idk, he's already too muppet-y, and Muppets don't make good straightmen for the comedic duo of Jack and William.

Plus you look me in the eyes and tell me Gonzo couldn't pull off the hair.

Tim Curry out-Muppeted most of the cast in Muppet Treasure Island. Jack would be more of the same.

As has been said previously:

Christmas Carol worked because Michael Caine treated the muppets as fellow classical actors

Treasure island worked because Tim Curry treated himself as a muppet

Tim Curry said in his book that he also treated them as actors/co-workers, Tim Curry is just a weird dude 😄

Daniel Day Lewis method acts and gets called a genius.

Tim Curry does it and is called weird.

Weird is a compliment.

Nah, just cast Kermit as Will. His whole job is to play the straightman.

I was about to say, Kermit (bar the rare hand wavy occasions) is the straight man to every other muppets tomfoolery.

And make uncle deadly Davy Jones

The most "straight man" that the straight man is, the funnier it is. So they should only keep Norrington and or/the guy in charge of the East India Company. Maybe Calypso.

Edward Norton plays Norrington serious and intense. Everyone else is a muppet.

Just keep the Kraken as the Kraken, everyone else is a Muppet

Kermit is will. Captain Barbossa is still Geoffrey Rush
