Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says discussions are underway about Johnny Depp returning for a sixth installment of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, with Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow potentially appearing in a supporting role. Bruckheimer also indicates that new material is being developed for the film’s script as the long-awaited project moves forward.
Both outlets frame the update as a casting-and-development status report rather than a finalized announcement. The report highlights that the screenplay is still in progress, and it does not provide a confirmed release date or finalized cast. Times of India adds that Margot Robbie’s character could lead the next installment, while ComingSoon.net reports that Bruckheimer discussed the sequel’s progress and suggests a potential creative direction for the series. The earlier films in the franchise have collectively earned billions worldwide, which the outlets cite in providing context for the ongoing production interest.
