Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is confirming that the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise will have more than one reboot. Bruckheimer is telling EW: “It’s two different movies. We hope to get ’em both made, and I think Disney agrees they really want to make the Margot one, too.”
One will be a reboot with an entirely new cast, the other will be a female-centric film with Margot Robbie starring in the lead role. Production dates have not been set up, and the scripts don’t seem to be ready.
One of the films Bruckheimer mentions is most likely the one rumored from “The Last of Us” creator Craig Mazin and original ‘Pirates’ scribe Ted Elliot. However, now it looks as though the screenplay is being written by Jeff Nathanson (“The Young Woman and the Sea”). From all indications it will be the one to go first:
I think [Jeff Nathanson has] cracked it. He’s got an amazing third act. We just gotta clean up the first and second and then we’ll get there. But he wrote a great, great third act.
It’s also been confirmed by Bruckheimer that Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow will not show up in either of these films, even if Bruckheimer would have loved for that to happen.
It’s a reboot, but if it was up to me, he would be in it,” Bruckheimer says. “I love him. He’s a good friend. He’s an amazing artist and he’s a unique look. He created Captain Jack. That was not on the page, that was him doing a little Pepé Le Pew and Keith Richards. That was his interpretation of Jack Sparrow.
Did we need these reboots? of course not. Depp’s absence is only adding to the unnecessary nature of these upcoming films. The actor, as Jack Sparrow, was the best, and, at times, only, reason to watch the previous installments.
The ‘Pirates’ franchise has been dead to many fans, especially after the last release, 2017’s “Dead Men Tell No Tales.” As far as I’m concerned, the only good one was the 2003 original. However, money talks, and reboots being greenlit occur on a near-weekly basis in Hollywood.
