Disney Wants Johnny Depp Back for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 6'

Least Johnny Depp is closer to coming back as Jack Sparrow one last time.

New 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Movies Get an Exciting Update From Jerry Bruckheimer
https://collider.com/new-pirates-of-the ... uckheimer/

Could this not have been one of those movies that Bob Iger "quietly cancelled" ...

This film has been in development hell for years. I don't see it ever happening. POTC was already on its way out with the fifth movie and that still had Johnny Depp. Now they can't even count on that so who exactly will be coming to see this without him??

And the most ironic thing is that Orlando Bloom even said the fifth movie was intended as a soft reboot (which is why it feels like a pale imitation of remaking the original movie) so now we're getting another reboot?

This Iger needs to go already. WORST thing ever that happened to Disney.

‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’: Jerry Bruckheimer Says Reboot & Margot Robbie Spinoff Both Might Get Made
https://theplaylist.net/pirates-of-the- ... -20240520/

“It’s two different movies,” Bruckheimer explained. “We hope to get ’em both made, and I think Disney agrees they really want to make the Margot one, too.”

Bruckheimer added, about the second film, “I think [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.”

If neither of them are going to feature Johnny Depp, then aren't they both equally spin-offs? Or equally reboots, I guess?

It wouldn't surprise me that Disney might want to capitalize on Robbie's Barbie buzz.

That said, I can't think of a single person asking for either of these.

Q: What is the Disney project with Austin Butler you told last week?

Skyler Shuler: I have heard for the last couple years that Disney has wanted to work with Butler for quite some time and while Hercules was on the table, I heard that Disney wants him for Pirates of the Caribbean. Whether or not that happens is a completely different story.

Q: You know your fans now, they want you in everything. The latest is they want you in this Pirates of the Caribbean reboot. There's lots of talk about that. Would you be down for that if that opportunity arose?

Austin Butler: I loved Pirates of the Caribbean. I mean who knows? I haven’t heard anything about that. [...] I don't know. That's a hard one to touch because they did it so well. I love what Johnny did with that.

Why not both?

Personally, I think he and Dua Lipa in Hercules makes sense considering he worked with some guy she's been dating (Callum Turner, I think that's his name). That's what makes me think the Hercules rumors could have some truth to them. And honestly, the more I think on it, the more I think the two as the leads in that film could actually be perfect.

That said, I *could* also sort of see Butler in the POTC-verse in a way I couldn't with Robbie (could be wrong about that one, she is a good actress and all). That said, I just have a hard time envisioning POTC as being even mildly successful without the Sparrow character there. Butler would fill more of the Orlando Bloom-type lead, they'd still have to come up with someone to fill the Sparrow void. Plus, even if it were to be successful, would Butler be interested in a series with Disney or would a one-off remake like Hercules be more what he'd want? I don't see him getting tied down to Disney for a long period some reason, he seems like he's bouncing around to a wide array of projects.

‘Pirates of the Caribbean' Reboot Starts Production Next Year; No Johnny Depp
https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2024/1 ... -next-year

World of Reel ain't reliable.

Don't trust them.

The live-action division headed up by David Greenbaum will continue to mine some of the most valuable IP in Hollywood. All eyes are trained on the $4.53 billion “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise and the prospect of another sequel. Sources say the studio has not engaged with Johnny Depp, the franchise’s biggest draw, who found himself exiled by Disney after ex-wife Amber Heard accused him of domestic abuse. But Depp prevailed in a 2022 defamation case against the actress and has been on the comeback trail. “Pirates” producer Jerry Bruckheimer is developing two versions of the script on parallel tracks, one that could bring Depp back into the fold if the actor and Disney can reconcile. “Nothing has been ruled out,” says one knowledgeable source.

Nobody likes Depp anymore, his bots money ended in 2022 and now most tweets about him are hate tweets about him being an abuser and dirty old man

You’re wrong.

People still like Depp more than you’re willing to admit, even when it was revealed Amber Heard was a lying fraud.

Sorry, but either we get Depp back as Jack Sparrow or we don’t watch anymore Pirates movies made by Disney.

And I will stand my ground even in the face of political people like you.

Rumor: Disney Gearing Up For Production On Next ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Film With Johnny Depp
https://thedisinsider.com/2025/02/17/ru ... hnny-depp/

Hopefully true, but I remain skeptical.

The speed at which they dropped all of the insincere social stances and are going full Republican is honestly hilarious.

I hope Johnny says no though. Dead Men Tell no Tales was so bad there’s no coming back from that.

‘Pirates of the Caribbean’s Orlando Bloom Reacts to the Franchise Return Rumors
https://collider.com/pirates-of-the-car ... ndo-bloom/

I'm sure that he's inside the project. The problem here is how to convince Keira to come back. I honestly think that she's not gonna do it because she does the project that she wants and she doesn't seem to have the necessity to make blockbusters again. I would love to see her return but I think that it's complicated.

"Not All New Actors:" Pirates Of The Caribbean 6's Returning Cast Members Teased By Franchise Producer
https://screenrant.com/pirates-of-the-c ... uckheimer/

They need the original trio to make this movie a huge success. Everybody remember these characters. People are not going to feel attracted if the familiar faces are Karina or Angela. I really want this movie to be a massive success because I love this franchise and I think that right know we need this kind of adventures movies again

Q: What is going on with the new Pirates movie(s)? I feel like it has been forever since we had updates (I remember there were rumors of a Karen Gillsn movie and a Margot Robbie one). When will Disney officially announce it?

Skyler Shuler: The Margot Robbie-led Pirates movie, which had Bumblebee write Christina Hobson attached to write, is on hold and likely won’t ever move forward. As of now, the only project in development is in the form of sequel/reboot, which would see key returning characters including Will Turner, Elizabeth Swan, and yes, Captain Jack Sparrow (in a reduced role) as the movie would chart course in a new direction with new characters. There is no director attached at this time and when one does sign I’d expect the script to be retooled.
