Pirates of the Caribbean 6 Reboot: Speculated Cast, Plot, What You Need To Know

We all grew up watching the fantasy Disney movies "Pirates of the Caribbean". The supernatural film series consists of five movies that grossed a total of $4.5 billion. The last movie of the franchise, "Dead Men Tell No Tales", came out in 2017.

Ever since then, fans have been wondering if we would ever get to see more from the franchise. Rumors have been circulating about the possibility of a sequel, and they turned out to be true not long ago. Now, Jerry Bruckheimer has shared some details about the upcoming movie and what to expect.

Pirates of the Caribbean 6: Reboot

The sixth movie of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has been confirmed on multiple occasions now. Probably the first official confirmation occurred during an interview with The New York Times, where Sean Bailey, the president of Disney Studios Motion Picture Production, shared that the well-known fantasy pirate film series is their current priority and teased a new story they were working on.

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Jerry Bruckheimer also confirmed the production of a Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, but this time he provided additional information that the movie will be a reboot.

Although information about the plot and the cast is very vague.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Reboot Cast

The director of the movie has shown his appreciation and desire to work with Johnny Depp on multiple occasions. However, during an interview with the Sunday Times in 2022, Bruckheimer mentioned that Johnny Depp's appearance again as Captain Jack Sparrow is "unlikely". Despite the disheartening comment about Depp's recasting, fans still believe that there is a chance for the popular actor to join the movie.

When asked about more details on the reboot, Bruckheimer told ComicBook.com,

"That is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors."

This leads us to believe that the cast for the reboot may be entirely new. It is understandable for the producers to choose this option since they will have to rework the story from scratch and bringing new faces would amplify the uniqueness of the reboot while also paying tribute to the original story.

Pirates of the Caribbean: 2 New Upcoming Movie Projects

Disney has entertained numerous ideas for the future of the Pirates of the Caribbean throughout the years. The confirmation of an official reboot is one thing, but we also know of two more projects that are on the way.

One of the projects is quite well-known and involves the talented Margot Robbie. This script was said to have been scrapped at some point, but Jerry Bruckheimer himself refuted those claims and added that while the story is great, it needs a little more work.

The second rumored movie was said to feature a younger cast. Although we don't know any details, we assume it could either be some kind of prequel or just a completely new story with young pirates in the same universe. Either way, we are eager to see it happen.
