Jerry Bruckheimer Says He is Rebooting Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise without Johnny Depp
It’s been nearly seven years since the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie graced the big screen, and Disney is still charting a course for the blockbuster franchise. While there have been multiple ideas floated, including a Margot Robbie-led film and even a potential return for Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow, it seems a full reboot is now on the horizon.

In a recent interview with Comicbook.com, legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer discussed his upcoming film TheMinistry of Ungentlemanly Warfare before touching on the future of his popular franchises, Top Gun and Pirates of the Caribbean. When asked which might return first, Bruckheimer hinted at the fresh start for Pirates:
“It’s hard to tell. You don’t know, you really don’t know,” Bruckheimer began. “You don’t know how they come together. You just don’t know. Because with Top Gun you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does Top Gun, I can’t tell you. But we’re gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.”
While a Margot Robbie-starring Pirates film isn’t entirely off the table, it may have become less likely following the massive success of Barbie. However, we can expect the new direction to take bold risks.
The Last of Us creator Craig Mazin, who worked on a story for the reboot alongside original screenwriter Ted Elliot, described their script as “very weird” in an interview with the LA Times, adding that Disney seemed to like it.
Let’s see what kind of strange and wonderful adventures await in this reimagined Pirates world!
