Hey there, movie lovers! Guess what we’ve got on our radar? An exciting new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movie! Yes, you read that right. It looks like the ‘Pirates’ franchise might be sailing back into our lives sooner than we thought.
As per the newest buzz, a production document titled ‘UNTITLED POTC MOVIE’ has surfaced, hinting at a possible late 2025 release. The precise details are still under wraps as the production is slated to happen in the beautiful settings of St. Vincent. Though we’re not sure about the cast yet, it’s probably safe to bet that Johnny Depp might not reprise his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Earlier this year, ‘Pirates’ producer Jerry Bruckheimer dropped some serious hints about the reboot of the franchise. And believe it or not, there’s not just one, but two new ‘Pirates’ movies in talks. Now doesn’t that double up the excitement?
Rumor has it that the first film might feature a completely new cast in an uncharted territory. So, we might not see our beloved Captain Jack, but who knows what new interesting characters await?
The second movie seems even more interesting. It’s planned to be a female-centric one, largely connected to the previous installations. Guess who’s tipped to lead the ship here? None other than the ravishing Margot Robbie. With her talent and charm, we can only imagine the captivating adventure she will take us on.
One of these films could be the project originally penned by ‘The Last of Us’ creator Craig Mazin, along with Ted Elliot, the original ‘Pirates’ scribe, and later revised by the brilliant Jeff Nathanson. Here’s Jerry Bruckheimer applauding Nathanson’s successful narrative for the third act.
“[Jeff Nathanson has] cracked it. He’s got an amazing third act. We just gotta clean up the first and second and then we’ll get there. But he wrote a great, great third act.”
Now, you might be asking, do we need new ‘Pirates’ movies, especially without Depp? His portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow was no doubt a treasure, the very essence of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’. His departure definitely leaves a void.
Ever since the last movie, ‘Dead Men Tell No Tales’ released in 2017, the series seemed to lose its luster for many. For me, the 2003 original will always hold a special place. But hey, change is the tide that keeps Hollywood sailing.
No matter what our opinions are, the reality is, reboots are a constant in the Hollywood landscape as long as they prove profitable. It’s somehow gratifying to keep our fingers crossed and anticipate what’s in store for us. Who knows, these reboots may win us over and raise the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise from the depths of the sea into the light of new glory. Let’s await the adventure!
