Man, this adventure has been more storied than anything Captain Jack Sparrow has ever embarked on.
But now, it seems that the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie is finally getting the wind behind its sails.
So, going baco k to 2018, Johnny Depp, then wrapped up in legal proceeding with Amber Heard, was officially kicked off the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, meaning to many, that was surely the end of the movies becasue, while he was never the lead, he was always the face and, let’s be honest, the reason, people went to see those movies.
Karen Gillan Disney’s choice to lead new Pirates of the Caribbean franchise?
After his departure, in May 2020, it was revealed that Doctor Who and Jumanji’s Karen Gillan was being eyed to star in a new Pirates movie. Then, no, it’s Margot Robbie leading the new movie when it was revealed in July 2020.
Shortly after, it was allegedly two movies, one starring Robbie, the other? Who knows.
Then, in 2022, with his legal troubles over, Depp seemed to be back in the spotlight as producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that the Robbie movie was still moving ahead and he couldn’t rule out a Captain Jack Sparrow return.
Then, as recently as Christmas past, word was that there was hope the Depp’s Sparrow would be returning.
Now, it seems that the Robbie movie and potential Depp movie are… one and the same?
Yes, the new rumour has it that 1917 writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns is tipped to write the new movie that will centre around Jack Sparrow’s son.
What?
Not only that, but the movie will star Robbie, which is a high priority at Disney, will be presented to Depp, with the hope being he will return to the role… even if just for a cameo.
The movie is reportedly hoping to film next year.
Jesus, Disney, can’t you do anything right?
It’s not that hard; get Depp back, approach all the original stars, write a good movie, stand back and watch the millions roll in.
I’m not sure who is asking for this new movie and look, I love Robbie, but the fans want Jack Sparrow, not his son.
Ugh.
Thoughts? I know you have them and I wanna hear ’em all.
