Pirates of the Caribbean Reboot Gets New Update from Its Producer
Fans of Pirates of the Caribbean can rejoice: Jerry Bruckheimer confirms two new films, including a reboot, with scripts in progress.
The photos, uploaded by Instagram user @esheffects, showcase Chris Hemsworth, known for playing Thor, and Jason Momoa, the actor behind Aquaman, fully transformed into rugged pirates. Both actors are dressed in elaborate pirate attire, complete with weathered coats, tricorn hats, and facial hair that enhances their seafaring look. In the final slide, Depp appears as his iconic character, Captain Jack Sparrow, sporting the familiar layered dreadlocks, beads, and mischievous expression that have become hallmarks of the character over the past five films. The user captioned the images, “A new Pirates of the Caribbean staring Thor and Aquaman. Side by side with Jack Sparrow. Would you be up for it?” It didn’t take much time for fans to appreciate these images and suggested that the makers need to make this happen.
The future of the Pirates of the Caribbean is still uncertain and there’s no official word about any upcoming film. Also, it is yet to be seen how Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer want to move ahead with the franchise. With Depp now cleared in the domestic abuse case, the production companies might want to rope in the actor for future films. However, it’s really difficult to move ahead with the storyline they showed in the previous movies. Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, played by Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, have seemingly reached the end of their story. Following the mixed reception and lower box office performance of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2017—the second-lowest earning film in the series—the franchise may be gearing up for a fresh new direction.
A recent report revealed that Disney was getting ready to begin production on the next chapter of the Pirates of the Caribbean series sometime next year. All the things regarding the project have been kept under wraps, and it is yet to be seen if the production giant will approach Depp for future movies. However, his return seems highly improbable because the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean project is being touted as a reboot and if it is a reboot, the makers would want to tell a new story, which might look at how Sparrow became a pirate. Nevertheless, fans are still hoping to see Depp playing the iconic character.
All five Pirates of the Caribbean films are available for streaming on Disney Plus.

How Could Pirates Of The Caribbean Replicate Previous Success?
The Pirates franchise already faces an uphill battle without the likes of Johnny Depp, Kiera Knightley, and Orlando Bloom, all of whom will be missing from the two new movies that have been announced. Despite his recent controversies, Depp remains an exceedingly popular actor, and his omission in particular from future titles will certainly hurt the sales for die-hard fans who consider him to be the heart and soul of the series.
