Pirates of the Caribbean isn’t just a classic Disney ride — it’s also a highly successful film franchise.
The film franchise was, in fact, so successful that parts of the movie have made their way INTO the classic attraction in Disney Parks. But what’s going on with the franchise? Will we ever see a NEW Pirates of the Caribbean movie again? Well, the answer is “maybe.”
So here’s the deal: at one point, Disney was working on a NEW female-led Pirates of the Caribbean sequel starring Margot Robbie and written by Christina Hodson (Birds of Prey), with Jerry Bruckheimer remaining as producer. According to Vanity Fair, though, Disney was not moving forward with the project. However, in an interview with Collider, Bruckheimer said that the female-led movie wasn’t completely dead just yet.
At the time, Bruckheimer also said, “We developed two different stories for ‘Pirates’ and the other one’s going forward first, so that’s what we’re working on, to try to get that one made.”
But wait, because there’s MORE. Sean Bailey, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production, recently spoke to The New York Times, in an article that mentions that the restarting of the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise is another priority for Disney, although nothing official has been announced.
Bailey said, “We think we have a really good, exciting story that honors the films that have come before but also has something new to say.” Could this be the other movie that producer Jerry Bruckheimer previously mentioned?
When asked about the return of Captain Jack Sparrow, Bailey answered, “Noncommital at this point.” So it seems Disney is not completely ruling out the return of Johnny Depp in the iconic role.
