Media reports state that the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise released Johnny Depp after Amber Heard accused him of abuse.
After Disney dropped Johnny Depp from the film, he stated during his court trial that he had no interest in returning. Although his comments may disappoint fans, it will be interesting to see who takes over his iconic role in the new movie.
Speaking to the media, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said, “We’re working on a screenplay. Hopefully, we’ll get it right—and then we’ll make it. We want to make it,” as he discussed the film’s progress.
He further added that “the movie will be a new take on the franchise. When asked if the whole of the cast was new, or if anybody was to reprise their roles, Bruckheimer said, “Well, not all new actors. We’ll have some back. I’m not going to tell you which ones—you’ll have to guess.”
The producer’s comments confirm that “Pirates of the Caribbean 6” remains in the early stages of development. The previous films in the franchise primarily focused on the characters of Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann.
Additionally, the fifth installment, “Dead Men Tell No Tales”, introduced several possibilities for the next movie to explore different story directions.
