US EditionOrlando Bloom Makes Fresh Comments About Return to Pirates of the Caribbean
Orlando Bloom urges a full reunion of the original cast for the sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film, emphasizing the need for a strong script to ensure success.
- Recently, Disney is developing Pirates of the Caribbean 6, and Orlando Bloom publicly supports reuniting the original cast but insists a strong script is essential for his return.
- Since 2017, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has been largely inactive despite its five films grossing $4.5 billion total; Johnny Depp, actor's 2022 legal case also affected the series' momentum.
- Jeff Nathanson is penning the screenplay for Pirates 6, with producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirming last year he spoke with Johnny Depp, who could return if he likes the part, and Bruckheimer will produce.
- A Depp comeback risks both revival and backlash, as positive audience response could lead Disney to finalize contracts, while media outrage or fan boycotts threaten box office failure.
- With Disney weighing options, a Margot Robbie-led spinoff's status is uncertain and Keira Knightley has said she prefers stepping away from big franchises, complicating a full reunion.
