The Future of Pirates of the Caribbean
The Pirates of the Caribbean series, known for its thrilling adventures, charismatic pirates, and unforgettable theme music, is possibly sailing back to the big screen! Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is in the pipeline. Yet, there are a lot of uncertain winds blowing around this news, particularly regarding the cast.
Are New Actors Joining the Crew?
Rumors are swirling that Ayo Edebiri from ‘The Bear' might join the new Pirates movie. Another buzz-maker is Austin Butler, though he loved hearing about the rumors, he too was unaware of them. While these speculations heat up, none of them are confirmed yet.
What About the Return of Johnny Depp?
If you're a true Pirates of the Caribbean fan, you're probably wondering about the return of Johnny Depp, the unforgettable Jack Sparrow. As it stands, even Johnny's future in the franchise remains in the realm of ‘maybes'. Even though many fans are rallying for Depp's return following the resolution of his personal issues, an official confirmation is yet to be made.
A Possible Comeback for Bloom and Knightley?
Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, who played Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann respectively in the original trilogy, might also resurrect their characters in the upcoming movie, given the open-ended storylines their characters have.
Anticipating a Reboot
Interestingly, Jerry Bruckheimer considers the upcoming Pirates project a franchise ‘reboot'. Given the complexities of organizing star-studded sequels, it might be an easier route to freshen up the franchise with new faces and stories.
Margot Robbie to Star in Another Spin-off?
Alongside Pirates of the Caribbean 6, another script featuring Margot Robbie as the protagonist is also under consideration. Despite Robbie's initial thoughts that plans for her movie were abandoned, Bruckheimer reassures that it's very much alive.
When Can We Expect the Six Installment?
Given the current stage of the project, we can't expect the new Pirates movie to hit the screens anytime before late 2025. However, you can happily re-watch the older movies while waiting for more details to surface.
So, until the ship makes it to the shore, all we can do is anticipate. Whether we see Jack Sparrow, the Turners, or perhaps even someone entirely new leading the next adventure, we'll have to wait and watch!
And remember, if you want to recap the series, you can watch them in this order: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), Dead Man's Chest (2006), At World's End (2007), On Stranger Tides (2011), Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017).
Stay tuned and keep those spyglasses fixed for more updates on Pirates of the Caribbean 6!
