More Info About a New Pirates of the Caribbean Movie! The Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise is one of our favorites. Over 20 years ago, Johnny Depp introduced us to the famous and beloved Captain Jack Sparrow. The rest is fandom history! A few years back, Johnny Depp had a major falling out with Disney and he claimed that he’d never work with the company again. As sad as that was, a lot of fans understood why. But now, is it possible that he could return to the big screen as Captain Jack? Well, maybe so! Orlando Bloom is all in with a new film, so that could be good news!
Speaking earlier this month on British chat show This Morning, Orlando Bloom said he was open to returning as blacksmith-turned-rogue, turned pirate, Will Turner, after sailing off into the sunset with Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Swann back in 2007’s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
A decade later, Bloom and Knightley both made cameo appearances in Dead Men Tell No Tales’ brief post-credits scene, setting up a possible full return in the future — though as the years passed, fans have since begun to doubt whether this teaser would ever be picked up on.
“Well, I don’t know, I can’t say anything at the moment because I really don’t know, but there’s definitely availability,” Bloom said this month (thanks, Game Rant).
“I think they’re trying to work out what it would all look like, I personally think it’d be great to get the band back together. That would be great, but there are always different ideas, and so we’ll see where it lands.”
Pirates of the Caribbean boss Jerry Bruckheimer has stated he was hoping for Depp to return. Last year, Fortnite hosted a major Pirates of the Caribbean crossover — and it was telling that the series’ classic characters of Captain Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann, and Captain Barbossa were the ones featured as in-game skins.
Now, speaking to Screen Rant, Bruckheimer has confirmed “some” previous Pirates of the Caribbean actors will indeed be back for the next installment, despite the movie still offering “a new take” on the franchise overall.
When asked whether a new take meant an all-new cast, Bruckheimer replied: “Well, not all new actors. We’ll have some back… I’m not going to tell you which ones — you’ll have to guess.”
Will that include Depp? For now, Disney’s not saying — and, as yet, Pirates of the Caribbean 6 still currently doesn’t have any kind of formal announcement or release date. Stay tuned for updates as we hear them!
Thanks IGN for the info!
