That being stated, Pirates of the Caribbean hasn’t launched a brand new instalment in almost 6 years and followers are beginning to get just a little antsy about once they’ll get to return to the briny deep. After all, audiences can’t be too hasty because the franchise has had a number of ups and downs over the previous few years (most notably the controversy surrounding the untimely firing of Johnny Depp from the position of Captain Jack Sparrow) that precipitated any future tasks to be placed on the back-burner, so to talk.
The entire issues apart, producer Jerry Bruckheimer has insisted that the franchise nonetheless has wind in it’s sails and {that a} sixth Pirates film isn’t only a chance; it’s imminent. So, with the franchise certain to make a comeback, let’s check out precisely what we all know concerning the future installment.
Will The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri star?
Earlier this week, rumors had been flying about The Bear‘s Ayo Edebiri possibly being courted to lead a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The scoop came from Daniel Richtman, who’s thought-about probably the most dependable scoopers on the market. Just one downside – Richtman himself debunked the rumor, saying Disney was solely contemplating an Ayo Ederbiri sort in one of many proposed spin-offs. It’s potential she might be in a brand new Pirates film, though the presumption that she’s changing Depp is unsuitable. However what about Depp anyway?
Elvis star Austin Butler has additionally come up in casting rumors, however when he was requested about these rumors, it was information to him.
Johnny Depp Future Unknown
The most important query on each fan’s thoughts concerning the following Pirates film isn’t essentially what the story might be – it’s whether or not or not Johnny Depp will come again. And the reply is that no one is aware of in the meanwhile. On the one hand, it might appear gentle a little bit of a stretch for Depp to return again, contemplating how poorly the studio handled him within the wake of what occurred between him and his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Nonetheless, because the reality concerning the controversy has been resolved and Depp’s repute has been restored, loyal followers have begged Depp to return to the massive display screen and provides Jack Sparrow one other go. There have been rumors circulating final 12 months that Depp wished a staggering $300 million to return to the franchise, however that delusion was rapidly debunked.
As for the studio’s opinion on Depp returning, Bruckheimer has insisted that he considers Depp a good friend and that he would welcome him again into the franchise with open arms. “He’s a friend, a terrific actor,” the producer said, concluding with, “It’s unfortunate that personal lives creep into everything we do.” Actually looks as if Bruckheimer desires him again, however once more, nothing has been confirmed on whether or not or not that’s what Depp desires to do. Will Depp be a part of Pirates of the Caribbean 6? Most not too long ago, Disney’s president Sean Bailey gave an interview to The New York Instances, the place he went on file saying, “we think we have a really good, exciting story that honors the films that have come before but also has something new to say.” Nonetheless, he wouldn’t deal with whether or not or not Depp would come again.

Whereas Bruckheimer has confirmed {that a} sixth Pirates film is within the work, all he has technically said is that the studio has a script and story that he believes is nearly prepared for manufacturing. He has additionally confirmed that the script doesn’t embody Jack Sparrow just because Depp has been mum on whether or not or not he would return to the franchise. Other than that, the rest is merely hypothesis based mostly on Bruckheimer’s feedback.
So, what precisely would possibly the script that Bruckheimer talked about embody? Properly, if essentially the most notable character from the franchise gained’t return, why not carry within the subsequent two fan-favorite characters? Will Turner & Elizabeth Turner (previously Elizabeth Swann) may not have had the on-screen presence that Jack Sparrow had, however nonetheless, they had been key gamers within the authentic trilogy and (extra importantly) had a narrative that was left open-ended with the conclusion of the final movie. If a script for a sixth film is really prepared, it might make loads of sense for Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley to be the protagonists in Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
Reboot
Possibly we shouldn’t even be pondering former forged members’ place in the way forward for the franchise, as a result of Bruckheimer has described the Pirates of the Caribbean challenge that’s presently in growth as a reboot.

You just don’t know. Because with Top Gun you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does Top Gun, I can’t tell you. But we’re gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.”
In late June of 2024, he additionally stated that he expects to see a script for Pirates of the Caribbean 6 within the subsequent month or so, and he’s hoping Disney will prefer it.
seventh Movie Starring Margot Robbie within the Works

Final 12 months, Robbie made a remark that she thought the plans for her film had been lifeless within the water, nevertheless, Bruckheimer has doubled down and insisted that the movie remains to be within the works.
Bruckheimer did state that Robbie’s feedback may have been a misinterpretation of the truth that the studio is specializing in the primary of their two scripts slightly than hers. Relating to the 2 tasks, he was quoted saying, “The Margot Robbie one needs work. The younger cast one is close. Hopefully, we’ll get them both.” However Bruckheimer did be certain to substantiate that Robbie becoming a member of the Pirates franchise sooner or later sooner or later is totally a part of his plan by saying, “It’s alive for me. It’s alive for Disney… we believe we’ll get it made. It’s a very strong story.”
Received’t Be Coming Out for a Whereas
Because the solely true affirmation that followers have concerning the upcoming film is that there’s a script near prepared for manufacturing, it may be presumed that the movie gained’t be hitting screens for a really very long time. Even bearing in mind how huge Disney is as a studio, the franchise must work miracles to get the forged & crew crucial for such a manufacturing collectively so rapidly. Holding that in thoughts, the following installment arriving anytime earlier than late 2025 can be a protracted shot, and even that potential premiere date is a best-case state of affairs.
For now, followers should be blissful understanding {that a} sixth movie is on the horizon and hope for extra conclusive data because the ship sails nearer to shore.
