$4.5 billion: This globally successful adventure saga will have the rights to a 6th film, which will not be a sequel

The results of the fifth opus were disappointing worldwide ($796 million, when the previous one exceeded a billion), and it was already characterized by a chaotic shooting. But the Pirates of the Caribbean saga hasn’t sunk in yet.

All that remained to be seen was which course he intended to follow. Because the rumors sometimes talked about a movie with Margot Robbie whose script was going to be reworked, another one with a younger cast that was on track, or even an episode where Jack Sparrow would only be a supporting character.

Actually, not like in the first feature film where it had to be before he stole the show for everyone.

“We’re Going to Reboot Pirates of the Caribbean”

Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of Guy Ritchie’s new production, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, was interviewed on the subject. And finally gave us real information: “We’re Going to Reboot Pirates of the Caribbean”– he said on the microphone ComicBook.com.

“This way it will be easier to do because we won’t have to wait for certain actors”He continues, apparently taking aim at Johnny Depp, who was already weakened in Hollywood before the highly publicized trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.

What that new movie will be remains to be seen. And who will be the star? Because Jerry Bruckheimer didn’t go into detail, even if he did finally let us see a little more clearly into the murky waters the saga has been sailing in for a few years now. So all he’s missing is a captain.
