Jerry Bruckheimer says sixth Pirates Of The Caribbean and Bad Boy 3 likely to happen

If there’s one franchise that baffles us every time it gets a new instalment, it’s this one.

Pirates Of The Caribbean started off really well with the first movie but really never picked up after that and after the lacklustre fifth movie this summer we thought (not for the first time) that the franchise may have finally come to an end.

However, it seems not…

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer seems keen to get Captain Jack on the screen once again after DEad Men Tell No Tales took $791 million: “I mean, you’re talking about the fifth in the series in a down market, and the American dollar is so strong that we’re getting less returns from foreign.

“This movie would’ve (taken) a billion dollars had it been back in the same financial (world as the last film), but we lost 27% of our money just by the conversion rate. But god it’s at what, $790M now? It’s amazing.

“Hopefully (Pirates 5 is) very successful on DVD as the other ones have been. Then hopefully we’ll sit down and see where we go.”

So get ready because Pirates Six looks likely to happen.

And still no Serenity 2. No, we can’t let it go.

And speaking of franchises that we didn’t think we’d see continue, Bruckheimer says that, despite recently dropping of the radar, Bad Boys 3 is still hopefully happening in the future: “Well, we’ve been developing it for I don’t know how many years now and we had a period of time where it got pretty close and then it drifted away a little bit and hopefully it will drift back again. We have a new writer on it who’s working on it right now, so that gives me encouragement.” 

So there you have it… more Pirates and Bad Boys on the way.

Probably.

Let us know your thoughts.
