Johnny Depp eyed to return for a new “Pirates Of The Caribbean” movie.
If you remember, After Disney fired Johnny Depp from the ‘Prates’ franchise, Depp vowed to never work with the studio again. Later, franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that there are currently two scripts being written for the film series. He told Entertainment Weekly, “It’s two different movies. We hope to get ‘em both made, and I think Disney agrees they really want to make the Margot [Robbie] one too.”
One film is rumored to be a reboot with a new cast, and the other will be a female-centric film, with connections to the previous movies and Margot Robbie attached to star in the lead role.
Variety is now reporting that “nothing has been ruled out” regarding Disney bringing Depp back for more Captain Jack Sparrow. Disney has not engaged with Depp yet, but one script in development would bring him back if he can reconcile with the studio.
One of the two scripts being worked on is most likely the one originally written by “The Last of Us” creator Craig Mazin and original ‘Pirates’ scribe Ted Elliot, and later rewritten by Jeff Nathanson (“The Young Woman and the Sea”).
