The new movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is already in the oven, but its producer has confirmed that it is going to be rebooted, which would mean a reboot without its star, Johnny Depp.
One of Disney's great franchises is, without a doubt, Pirates of the Caribbean. The five films released to date have raised more than $4.5 billion and have made cinema history. With Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) as the protagonist, this saga has been a true success and has crossed borders.
Therefore, when the idea of a Pirates of the Caribbean 6 was launched, everyone wondered if Johnny Depp would return to the franchise and doubts and speculation began about whether this story could continue without Depp's charismatic and extravagant character. Now, the producer of the films at Disney, Jerry Bruckheimer, has dispelled doubts when asked about the future of Pirates of the Caribbean and Top Gun 3, another of his big projects with Tom Cruise at the helm.
"It's hard to say. You don't know, you really don't know. You don't know how they come together. You just don't know. Because with Top Gun you have a brilliant, iconic actor. And how many movies he makes before he makes Top Gun, I can't tell you. say. But we're rebooting Pirates, so it's easier to put it together because you don't have to wait for certain actors," he told ComicBook.
In this way, it has been confirmed that there will be a reboot with a new cast, so it will be rare if any of the original cast members appear and that includes Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. The actor has been very far from Hollywood since his trial with Amber Head and, although his name has come to light because another actress has claimed that she had a strong clash with him on a set, the interpreter has decided to remain silent and on the sidelines of any type of rumor or controversy.
In 2022, Bruckheimer was asked about the possibility of Depp returning to the role of Sparrow and said: "Not at this time. The future is still to be decided." He also clarified what had happened to the version with Margot Robbie, which even had a script, you can see it in the video above.
It must be remembered that the script for this new film would also be done, as Craig Mazin, one of the screenwriters, told the Los Angeles Time: "We presented it and we thought there was no way they would buy it, it's too strange. And it! they did! And then we wrote a fantastic script and the strike happened and everyone was waiting."
What has been taken for granted with the words of producer Jerry Bruckheimer is that the next Pirates of the Caribbean will be new and different and may not include Johnny Depp.
