2 Pirates of the Caribbean Movies are in the Works (Including Margot Robbie’s)

Back in November, Margot Robbie had confirmed that her Pirates of the Caribbean reboot for Disney wasn’t going to be moving forward, and while it looks like she’s certainly moved on, Disney is apparently still holding on to the project.

In an interview with THR, Pirates producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that Disney is currently developing two POTC projects—one of them being Margot Robbie’s. He says:

“We have a very good script. We developed two of them — the one with Margot Robbie and one with a younger cast. The Margot Robbie one needs a little more work. The younger cast one is close. Hopefully we’ll get both of them.”

When asked about Robbie’s project, Bruckheimer confirmed, “It’s alive for me. It’s alive for Disney. I’m sure she was disappointed it didn’t go first — or maybe not because she’s very busy, so it might be a blessing to push this a bit. We believe we’ll get it made. It’s a very strong story.”

Admittedly the Pirates franchise has kind of lost its sizzle over the past years, and no amount of Jack Sparrow antics can save it. If you ask me, though the character of Jack Sparrow felt iconic and fresh during the first three films, it feels like Johnny Depp has lost a lot of his enthusiasm with the franchise. Perhaps it has something to do with his messy divorce with Amber Heard?

We don’t know when the Pirates franchise will be back, but I’ve always been and I’m willing to see another pirate adventure happening soon.
