Pirates Of The Caribbean Spinoff With Margot Robbie Officially In The Works? Producer Reacts
Jeff Nathanson has come on board to write the script for Pirates Of The Caribbean reboot.

The upcoming reboot of the beloved Disney adventure franchise Pirates of the Caribbean is in the development stage. Over the past few years, there have been several reports with some claiming of a reboot with an entirely new cast and others hinting at a female-centric film with Margot Robbie. Now, Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of the film, has dropped a major update revealing the future of Johnny Depp in the film.

Jerry Bruckheimer is currently working on two different Pirates movies. While one of them is a spinoff featuring Margot Robbie, the other one is a different reboot. According to Entertainment Weekly, Jeff Nathanson has come on board to write the script for the upcoming epic with the Robbie-centric film being written by Christina Hodson. Nathanson has earlier written the screenplay of the last Pirates movie, Dead Men Tell No Tales, directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.

While speaking to the portal, the producer shared that Disney is eager to make the Margot Robbie-edition of the Pirates of the Caribbean. “We hope to get ’em both made, and I think Disney agrees they really want to make the Margot one, too,” he said.

As for Johnny Depp’s comeback to the epic franchise, the producer wants the Hollywood star to play a significant role in the upcoming reboot but not necessarily as the lead. However, he did not reveal much about Depp’s official involvement. The producer also shed light on the possible comeback of Depp to the franchise while speaking with Deadline. He shared, “It’s a reboot, but if it was up to me, he would be in it,” further adding, “I love him. He’s a good friend. He’s an amazing artist and he’s a unique look. He created Captain Jack.”

Speaking of the five Pirates films, they have collected around $650 million globally, with 2006’s Dead Man’s Chest and 2011’s On Stranger Tides both crossing the $1 billion mark. The discussions about the sixth installment started making the rounds soon after the release of the fifth film of the franchise.
