Disney's Next 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Film Rumoured To Be In The Making With Johnny Depp

Los Angeles, February 18 - Disney has been trying to make the next film in the fantasy supernatural swashbuckler series, Pirates of the Caribbean for a long time but there hasn't been a concrete development on the same yet. ## One of the main reasons for the film getting delayed is Disney's highly publicized fallout following Johnny Depp's defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard. The studio parted ways with Depp before the actor won the legal battle and proved himself innocent.## In one of the interviews last year, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said that the next film of the franchise could go in two different directions as there were two alternative scripts - one that could bring Depp back into the frame and another that would move in a different direction. ## It hasn't been that easy as Depp, after that infamous fallout, went on to say that he would never return to Disney no matter what. Well, it has been a long time since he said that and things might have eased between them, as per the latest rumours. ## According to the report by The DisInsider, Depp might be headlining the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean which the studio is planning to start rolling soon at one Hollywood sound stage. The website further stated that there is no timeline for when production will officially begin but heard that it would feature Depp in his returning role.## Meanwhile, a few year back, it was reported that Margot Robbie would star in a female-led reboot, which is not intended to be a spinoff, but a new story, with new characters set in the Pirates universe. It is still in the plans at Disney and might be made at some point in time. ## Stay tuned...

Margot Robbie's 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Movie Is On, Says The Producer

Mumbai, December 20 - The sun hasn't set on the 6th installment of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, featuring Margot Robbie in the lead. The actress recently said that Disney might not have plans to go ahead with the movie and she lost hope in the film's development. ## Now, producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that the movie is on and will definitely see the light of day. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bruckheimer, one of the most successful film producers, said that they have two "Pirates" scripts, one with Robbie and the other one with a younger cast.## "I think we're getting very close on that one, too. We have a very good script. We developed two of them — the one with Margot Robbie and one with a younger cast. The Margot Robbie one needs a little more work. The younger cast one is close. Hopefully, we'll get both of them", the "Top Gun" producer said when asked why the 6th Pirates movie has been tough to crack?## When asked about Margot Robbie's claim of the scrapping of "Pirates 6", Bruckheimer said, "It's alive for me. It's alive for Disney. I'm sure she was disappointed it didn't go first — or maybe not because she's very busy, so it might be a blessing to push this a bit. We believe we'll get it made. It's a very strong story". ## Johnny Depp has been a vital part of the "Pirates" franchise but his legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard brought differences between him and Disney. Now, since the million-dollar lawsuit has settled with a verdict coming in the favor of Depp, there have been rumors about Depp's return to the franchise. ## Bruckheimer said that it is up to Disney to approach Depp again but "I would love to have him in the movie. He's a friend, a terrific actor and it's unfortunate that personal lives creep into everything we do", he said.## Stay tuned...

'Pirates Of The Caribbean' update: sixth movie in development

He suggested that a new film is on the horizon, reports dailymail.co.uk.## "They're definitely talking about it, as far as I know," Arenberg said when he appeared on "Kendall Talks TV".## It is unclear whether the new installment will be another sequel or a reboot of the original franchise, which featured Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. Last year, Disney brought Ted Elliot and Craig Mazin on board to work on the film franchise.## While details are being kept under wraps, Arenberg says he would be up for a comeback.## "I mean yeah, of course, obviously.

Stuart Beattie, who was attached to "Curse of the Black Pearl" as a screenwriter, previously suggested the studio was looking to the future.## He said: "I think (Depp's) had a great run. Obviously he's made that character his own and it's become the thing that he's most famous for now. It's been great for him and it's been great for us... There's that saying, 'Don't frown because it's over, smile because it happened. The fact that they're rebooting something that you did means that you did something that was worth rebooting. It's an honor."## The sixth part will be directed by Joachim Ronning, who had also helmed the previous part of the franchise.
