Johnny Depp’s reputation is clear now after the court’s decision this year but it had taken quite a hit after Heard’s allegations. Disney was quick to distance itself from the actor by dropping him from the hugely successful franchise, The Pirates of the Caribbean. Depp played Captain Jack Sparrow and his portrayal of the character is believed to be the reason behind the success of the franchise. While Disney was dropped the actor making a political statement about their no tolerance policy against crime against women, but they didn’t want to stop their Pirates of the Caribbean franchise as they love money.
So, as they’d dropped Depp they had to replace him with someone to continue to franchise but instead of replacing Depp with a male actor, Disney planned to develop another Pirates of the Caribbean film with Margot Robbie. This certainly intrigued a lot of fans as Margot Robbie is one of the finest actors working in the industry and everyone would love to see Robbie’s iteration of Jack Sparrow even if they love Depp. The project was under development for a long time and everyone thought the movie will soon head into production but just last month Margot Robbie confirmed that the movie was shelved. However, after Robbie’s confirmation, we have an update that says otherwise.
Margot Robbie’s Pirates of the Caribbean Movie is Still Very Much Alive!
Despite what Margot Robbie has said in the past, in every appearance that producer Jerry Bruckheimer he makes sure that everyone is well informed that Robbie’s Pirates of the Caribbean movie is very much alive. Recently Bruckheimer appeared for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter where he told the outlet that Margot Robbie’s Pirates of the Caribbean movie is alive for him as well as Disney.
Bruckheimer said, “Oh God, they’re all hard. I think we’re getting very close on that one, too. We have a very good script. We developed two of them — the one with Margot Robbie and one with a younger cast. The Margot Robbie one needs a little more work. The younger cast one is close. Hopefully, we’ll get both of them.”
He refuted all the statements made by Margot Robbie and in fact said the opposite. Bruckheimer further added, “It’s alive for me. It’s alive for Disney. I’m sure she was disappointed it didn’t go first — or maybe not because she’s very busy, so it might be a blessing to push this a bit. We believe we’ll get it made. It’s a very strong story.”
Since two Pirates of the Caribbean films are on the way, Bruckheimer claims that he “can’t answer” the question of whether Disney could bring Johnny Depp back as Captain Jack Sparrow: “You’d have to ask them. I can’t answer that question. I really don’t know. I would love to have him in the movie. He’s a friend, a terrific actor and it’s unfortunate that personal lives creep into everything we do.”
Let me know what you think of this news. Do you think this is a hint on Johnny Depp’s return as Captain Jack Sparrow?
