Pirates of the Caribbean 6: Will this iconic character return?

In 2003, Gore Verbinski produced the film adaptation of the Disney attraction Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. The film starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and a young Keira Knightley (17 years old at the time of filming) is a success and will have 4 sequels. To date, the Pirates of the Caribbean films have grossed over $4.5 billion worldwide, while generating significant merchandise revenue.

While promoting the Disney+ movie The Boston Strangler, Keira Knightley talked about the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Recently, he said at the microphone Harper’s BazaarHe found himself stuck in an inappropriate role and burned out because of the saga.

asked today and To Jerry Bruckheimer, who wanted to make new movies for the lucrative franchise, Keira Knightley responded: “And Elizabeth Swann? I mean, she went so beautifully. She went in great style“.

Therefore, it seems that the British actor does not want to reprise his role beyond a cameo, as in the 2017 film Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge.

Last December, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said he was working on two Pirates of the Caribbean projects that still include a female version, although the latter is no longer a priority. Thus, the producer said Collider :”We developed two different stories for the pirates. We are working on a specific project to try to make it happen.”

It is not yet known whether this project will feature the main characters of the fifth film: Brenton Thwaites and Kaia Scodelario, will mark the return of Johnny Depp or will feature a completely new group of pirates.
