Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann’s tales are done for good, as Disney and the producers confirm that, to the surprise of no one but the most hopeful Johnny Depp fans, they’re looking at other options for the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
We’d been hearing chatter about the adventurous movie series looking for fresher waters for a few years now, with talent as big as the writers behind Deadpool or Margot Robbie trying to bring new ideas into the franchise, but it seems like the powers that be at Disney are carefully considering the options before moving forward with another set of pirates and an entirely new storyline.
Via ComicBook.com, and while talking to the site about The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, legendary Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who’s been attached to all previous Pirates of the Caribbean flicks (which are available to watch on Disney+ right now), confirmed the current status of the IP at Disney and what they want to do. “It’s hard to tell. You don’t know, you really don’t know… You don’t know how they come together. You just don’t know,” he said, “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.”
