Pirates of the Caribbean franchise without Jack Sparrow? Read on
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has offered new insights into the future of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. He confirmed that the much-anticipated Margot Robbie-led "Pirates" project is indeed happening, with Jeff Nathanson onboard as the scriptwriter.
The franchise is set to expand with two new movies, which will serve as spin-offs within the pirate world established by Disney's five previous "Pirates of the Caribbean" films. Jeff Nathanson, who penned the 2017 film "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," is developing the scripts for these new ventures.
These upcoming movies will mark a complete reboot of the series, with none of the original characters returning. This news is particularly disheartening for fans of Jack Sparrow, the beloved character portrayed by Johnny Depp, who has been a central figure throughout the franchise. Bruckheimer expressed his regret about Sparrow's absence, noting, "If it were up to me, I would have brought Jack Sparrow back, but the direction has changed, and his return is unlikely."
Bruckheimer praised Nathanson's vision for the new films, particularly highlighting his work on the third act. "He’s got an amazing third act. We just need to refine the first and second acts, and then we’ll be ready. But he wrote a great, great third act," Bruckheimer said.
As of now, no release dates or additional cast members have been announced. Plot details and the overall structure of the new movies remain under wraps. Fans of Margot Robbie and the "Pirates" series eagerly await more information and the eventual release of these exciting new additions to the franchise.
