Since 2019, the development of the sixth installment has been progressing slowly. There are two versions of the script: one that includes Jack Sparrow and another that proposes a reboot with new protagonists. Jeff Nathanson may have already completed a third act that Bruckheimer described as "unbelievable." Among the writers are also Craig Mazin (The Last of Us) and Ted Elliott.
Orlando Bloom, remembered for his role as Will Turner, confirmed that there were talks to reunite him with Depp and Keira Knightley. "I think it'd be great to get the band back together," he commented. Still, the producer clarified that not all the actors will be new, but that fans will have to find out who returns.
Depp led the previous five films, which together grossed more than 4.5 billion dollars. Dead Man's Chest and On Stranger Tides each surpassed 1 billion. The last installment, Dead Men Tell No Tales, was the least acclaimed and the second lowest-grossing.
The actor's return as Jack Sparrow no longer seems like a pipe dream. With Bruckheimer's support and a convincing script, Johnny Depp could once again sail the seas in one of Disney's most successful sagas.
