The Future of Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise
The future of the Johnny Depp-starring adventure drama franchise is questionable with the release of the fifth movie in 2017. It’s been seven years, and there have been no discussions about the next chapter. Fans remain in the dark since one of the principal actors, Depp, had his personal and professional life clouded by the much-publicized defamation case.
Since the trial, Depp’s future involvement with the Pirates of the Caribbean movies has been up in the air for a while now. The actor has turned his back on the franchise as Disney decided to cut him off after the defamation trial.
A sixth film in the franchise is trapped in development limbo for quite some time. There are reports of a female-led spin-off movie with Margot Robbie in the lead in development. Christina Hodson is on board to provide the script for the new movie.
However, there is news that the film is being produced independently from the sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film. Despite its delays and rumors of cancellation, Bruckheimer is determined to get the project off the ground and portray the story that Hodson has concocted. However, there is no confirmation regarding the film, and the future of Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is in the dark.
