Orlando Bloom wants to 'get the band back together' for Pirates Of The Caribbean
The 48-year-old, who plays Will Turner in the Disney film franchise, told ITV's This Morning there is a chance the cast could reunite for a new instalment.
Asked if more Pirates Of The Caribbean features are possible, he said: "Well, I don't know, I can't say anything at the moment because I really don't know, but there's definitely availability.
"I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like, I personally think it'd be great to get the band back together, that would be great, but there are always different ideas, and so we'll see where it lands."
Bloom also spoke about his latest film Deep Cover, which will be released on 12 June, saying he took inspiration from Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher when constructing his character.
The Kent-born actor said: "When I read in the script that (his character) was a northern I was like, 'who's the iconic northerner that I know?'.
"Growing up I went to Knebworth and seeing Liam and the boys, the whole band, but Liam, he's just got that swag, hasn't he?
"I thought if I can get even close to that, I'd have a lot of fun trying, and it sort of lent itself, and I kind of imagined that (he) was sort of this desperate, out of work actor, maybe he worked at like a costume house or something.
"So, he'd get really into the costume and what he was wearing, and the Liam look and everything, so it was a really great way into the character, and I had a lot of fun with it."
The Pirates Of The Caribbean series has seen five feature films: The Curse Of The Black Pearl (2003); Dead Man's Chest (2006); At World's End (2007); On Stranger Tides (2011); and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017); along with the short film Pirates Of The Caribbean: Tales Of The Code: Wedlocked (2011).
The series is based on the Disneyland attraction of the same name, and follows the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp. It has also spawned a number of video games.

This year, we've seen Lindsay Lohan reunite with her on-screen mother Jamie Lynn Curtis for a Freakier Friday sequel, but what can we expect on the TV shows front? take a look at some of the rebooted TV shows we're most excited for this year… Disney+ is set to premiere Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair in December of this year.

Oasis are in the building, but what time are they taking to the Croke Park stage?
It is the most anticipated gig of the year, with the reunited Oasis taking to the stage in Ireland for the first time in 16 years this weekend. Noel, Liam et al have embarked on their colossal reunion tour earlier this summer, and 350 days since tickets went on sale (but who's counting?) it is finally Ireland's turn to hear Oasis live again, with two sold out shows in Croke Park taking place on Saturday and Sunday (August 16 and 17). With the anticipation reaching fever pitch, the band have since confirmed the times that everyone has wanted to know, including when openers Cast and Richard Ashcroft take to the stage before the main event. Oasis will be on stage at 8.15pm on Saturday and Sunday night. Pic:For both Saturday and Sunday, the gates will be opening at 5pm to allow the 82,300 people inside. From there, Cast will take to the stage at 6pm, while Richard Ashcroft will bless the stadium with his Bittersweet Symphony at 7pm. And then, at 8.15pm, the screens will tell the fans that this, in fact, is not a drill, while F**kin' in the Bushes will blare out over the PA as the Gallaghers, Bonehead, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Tony Waronker take to the stage. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Oasis (@oasis) The band are set to stay on stage for about two hours, with the Oasis Instagram account saying that the show will end at 10.15pm. As for what else people will need to know, the concert will be taking place regardless of if you feel the pain in the morning rain, or if you're looking to spend your days in the sunsheeinnnne, with Met Éireann saying that both nights will see the latter, as the rain will be staying at bay. Saturday morning will be 'dry with sunny spells,' according to Met Éireann, while during the afternoon and evening, some showers are likely to move up over Munster and into Connacht, possibly heavy or thundery. Highest temperatures of 21C to 27C with moderate east to southeast winds. It's almost time for the shows in Croke Park. Pic: AFP STRINGER/AFP via Getty Images Saturday night will be mild and humid, with a few showers early in the night. It will become mainly dry overnight, as temperatures will fall no lower than 14C to 17C. Looking to Sunday, things will start out mostly dry and sunny, while showers will only really effect Connacht and Munster. Highest temperatures of 19C to 25C. The showers will die out on Sunday night, becoming mainly dry as temperatures don't fall below 14C to 17C.

The night Oasis rocked Slane — and I walked for hours in the dark to get home
Turning 17 on the day I finished the Leaving Cert was cause enough for celebration, without a spare Slane ticket essentially dropping in my lap just a day later. I didn't realise then that the Gallagher brothers would part ways just a month later and that it would be the last time Oasis played Ireland for 16 years. And, while the gig was terrific, I'm sure many remember Oasis at Slane in 2009 for very different reasons. My parents were hesitant about letting me head off, particularly after seeing the warm-up acts ('Aren't the Prodigy a little wild?'). But some careful cajoling about how hard I'd worked for the exams and the need to let off steam convinced them. Noel Gallagher of Oasis pictured with Henry Mountcharles and band member Jem Archer at Slane Castle when it was announced that the group will be playing at the venue. Picture: Billy Higgins It may seem quaint now when you can book everything on a phone, but back then it was exciting to head into town the day before to purchase the return Dublin Bus ticket from Soundcellar in Dublin. A novice at these things, I made sure I was there when the buses started running to Slane on the Saturday. I thought nothing of how organised and smoothly things ran. My youthful naivety wouldn't last another 12 hours. While the warm-ups ranged from grand (The Blizzards), to good (Glasvegas and Kasabian), to as wild as predicted (Prodigy), it was all about the main act. I was just a bit too young to have enjoyed Oasis in their pomp. But I had a 30GB iPod then — plenty of room for the classic albums, and even half of Be Here Now. When Noel's stroll on stage was followed by Liam's swagger, and the first bars of Rock 'n' Roll Star led to 80,000 people jumping in unison, I was completely taken in. Noel Gallagher performing with Oasis at Slane Castle. Picture: Collins Photos Hearing so many people sing 'you and I are gonna live forever' makes a strong impression at that age. It still does. They played 22 songs that night, most of the same incredible hits that will have thousands jumping in Croke Park this weekend. Fast forward to the fireworks show during the encore, which finished with a cover of I Am the Walrus by The Beatles — it was time to go. The exhilaration I felt as a 17-year-old was something else, but it came crashing down quickly. It was the day before the longest day of the year, but by 11pm it was dark enough. And we were told to keep walking. There were buses — the same Dublin Buses I'd taken earlier — but they were full. And they weren't moving. I can't honestly remember if it was bus staff, gardaí, or event staff, but I clearly remember being told to keep walking. 'There are more buses further on,' they said. And so we did. Thousands of us. In the dark. Liam Gallagher performing with Oasis at Slane Castle. Picture: Collins Photos After a while, there was no one to tell us to keep walking. It was just us and everyone else trying to leave, herded down a country road. In the dark. My pal and I kept saying, 'They must be just a little further.' By about 2am, our parents started ringing — a bit chastening but also a relief when the dads arrived just before 4am to pick us up. I wasn't an avid Liveline listener then, but I remember the situation caused quite a ruckus the following week as people called Joe. While researching for this article, I came across a blog post by none other than Gavan Reilly — Virgin Media political supremo and best-selling author — who had a similar experience. He summed it up perfectly: 'We arrived on Bachelor's Walk at 4.05pm, nearly four and a half hours after we boarded, on a bus largely desperate to find a toilet and universally hungry, pissed off that they now couldn't get a taxi or Nitelink home (4am is taxi blackout territory; it's when everyone's getting home from nightclubs), and wondering if they'd ever bother going to Slane again. 'Walking home, we made it in the door at 4.50am, six hours after the music had finished.' All these years on, as bad as the aftermath was, I would love to be going to the gigs this weekend. But sadly, I'm probably still 35,000th in the Ticketmaster queue. The scars have healed. But even so, if I were going this time — despite it being much closer in Croker — I think I'd walk. Just in case.
