May 2025 Update: The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has resurfaced amid speculations on the fate of Captain Jack Sparrow and the overall franchise. Let’s take a comprehensive look at all the available information about Pirates of the Caribbean 6 and its probability of hitting the big screen again.
Will Johnny Depp Be Back in Pirates of the Caribbean 6?
Fans of Pirates of the Caribbean have been waiting for news on whether Johnny Depp would return as Captain Jack Sparrow in the upcoming movie after a long phase of anticipation. Reports indicate that Depp is “close to signing” a deal with Disney and that producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that Depp is the creator of the character and that he would be accepted back if Bruckheimer had anything to do with it.
However, the actor’s return has not been officially declared by Bruckheimer. A source familiar with the situation said that it’s not settled yet, and there’s still a possibility that the production team will steer the film in another direction, e.g. a new team of pirates or something similar.
The Future of the Series? Disney is Planning To Make Two New Films In The Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise.
Disney is not only planning one Pirates of the Caribbean movie but has two great ideas. The first is a part two that would develop the Pirates story with or without Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow. Instead of the focus on Sparrow, Disney will also take a new direction.
At the same time, a different movie is one with its protagonist, Margot Robbie, who will take the lead in a female-oriented spin-off that has just been awakened from dormancy. The project which was not going to be made is now front and center with Robbie’s statement as if the film is indeed alive. The spin-off itself will form a new and different opinion about the franchise, that for sure will bring in a lot of spectators.
The Cast: Who’s Returning to the High Seas?
We are yet to uncover the storyline, but there is a chance that familiar characters are going to participate. Orlando Bloom, the man who was Will Turner in the previous parts, expressed his readiness to take the role once again. Keira Knightley, whose role was Elizabeth Swann, is of a different mind, judging by her words in the last movie, but the viewers can still cross their fingers.
Regarding the new cast, there are gossips that other stars who are still popular might be the ones to join the casting, but until now no official statements in this sense have been made. We are certain that no matter if he comes back or not, the film will be made in such a way as to provide a lot of risk and have frequent actions of that kind and thus, to be an attractive film.
What’s the Future for Pirates of the Caribbean 6?
It is uncertain what the future holds for Pirates of the Caribbean given that it has just emerged and the shooting is slated to start at the end of 2025 in places that are really worth seeing, e.g., Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Actually, the premier of the new movie could be in the range of 2026-2027, which still is quite some time to let the audience imagine the next movie. Will Johnny Depp come back or does the movie have something different in store this time?
The return of the pirate franchise that has captured the hearts of millions globally is imminent, so more news is definitely on the way.
