With Pirates of the Caribbean 6’s status currently uncertain, it is down to a fan trailer to bring Johnny Depp back to the franchise.
The future of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is uncertain, with talks of a female-led reboot and questions about Johnny Depp’s involvement. Despite Disney’s noncommittal stance, there is hope for Depp’s return as Captain Jack Sparrow, with producer Jerry Bruckheimer expressing interest and Depp’s own sentimental desire for a proper goodbye.
Key points about the franchise’s future include:
- Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is in development, but there is still no confirmed release date.
- There is speculation about Johnny Depp’s return as Jack Sparrow, with reports suggesting that he may collaborate with Disney again if it’s the right project.
- Margot Robbie’s proposed Pirates of the Caribbean spin-off has been canceled, but there is interest in a reboot with a “younger cast”.
- Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that two new Pirates movies are being developed, one with a “younger cast” and another with Margot Robbie.
A fan-made trailer featuring Johnny Depp and Jenna Ortega has surfaced, showcasing a swashbuckling adventure we may never see. Despite the challenges faced by the franchise, fans still hope for a return of Captain Jack Sparrow and a proper conclusion to the story.
The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is currently drifting in uncertain waters, caught between the lackluster reception of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, talks of a female-led reboot and the ever-present question of where Johnny Depp fits into it all. The aftermath of Depp’s highly publicized legal battle with Amber Heard has seen fans demand for him to be given one more run out as the morally-dubious Captain Jack Sparrow, but so far, that still doesn’t appear to be on the cards. Well, other than in the world of fan trailers, of course – and one such trailer has just bobbed to the surface on YouTube, and it’s brought Jenna Ortega along for the ride.
Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is reportedly in the scripting stages, as is a reboot of the franchise that may or may not end up starring Margot Robbie in the lead role. However, with very little sign of either of those movies coming to fruition in the near future – if at all – one fan-made trailer from KH Studio has taken matters into its own hands and delivered an impressive look at the Depp and Ortega-led swashbuckling adventure that we will never see.
