Jerry Bruckheimer hints at Johnny Depp's return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6
Pirates of the Caribbean franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer recently shared an update on the highly anticipated sixth installment, revealing that some familiar faces will return, but the movie will take a "new take" on the beloved franchise. The long-awaited sequel has been in the works since the release of Dead Men Tell No Tales, though the project hit a setback after Johnny Depp's departure due to his defamation trial against Amber Heard. Depp, who portrayed the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow, previously expressed no desire to reprise his role, leaving fans wondering about the future of the series. In an interview with ScreenRant's Ash Crossan for F1, scheduled to release on June 27, Bruckheimer discussed the current status of the film, confirming that the script is still being developed. In an interview with ScreenRant's Ash Crossan, Bruckheimer gave insight into the film's current status and its direction: 'We're working on a screenplay. Hopefully we'll get it right — and then we'll make it. We really want to make it, that's for sure,' Bruckheimer said, emphasizing the team's dedication to getting the script right before moving forward. When asked if the upcoming film would be a continuation of previous stories or something entirely new, he responded, 'It'll be a new take on it.' On the subject of casting, Bruckheimer confirmed, 'Well, not all new actors. We'll have some back,' hinting at the return of some familiar characters. However, when pressed on which characters would be rejoining the cast, he remained tight-lipped, adding, 'I'm not going to tell you which ones — you'll have to guess.' With the script still in development, Bruckheimer's comments suggest that the next Pirates of the Caribbean film will feature a blend of fresh perspectives while still staying rooted in the legacy of the franchise. With the last release taking place more than 7 years ago, and our beloved Jack Sparrow facing a malicious legal battle in between and even more coming victorious out of it,somehow makes the next installment even more anticipated with his return.

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors It's been eight years since "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales", and the sixth movie has been in development ever since. Now, thanks to an interview with ScreenRant, we know a little bit more about the long-brewing sequel. According to "Pirates" producer Jerry Bruckheimer, "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" will be a new take on the franchise, but it will also bring back some of the fan-favorite cast. Bruckheimer was mum about who exactly is coming back, however.

Hopefully we'll get it right — and then we'll make it. We really want to make it, that's for sure." Asked if it would be a continuation or not, Bruckheimer answered, "It'll be a new take on it." "New take, new actors?" the interviewer asked. Bruckheimer responded, "Well, not all new actors. We'll have some back ... I'm not going to tell you which ones — you'll have to guess." Bruckheimer's words on the subject seem to confirm that while "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" will be a "new take" on the franchise, it won't completely reboot the story considering some of the same actors are returning. A wealth of actors have jumped in and out of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise since the 2003 debut of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", but no doubt there are three actors in particular most fans are wondering about: Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Johnny Depp. Bloom himself recently commented on the possibility of returning to the franchise and seemed to like the idea of all three coming back. "Well, I don't know, I can't say anything at the moment because I really don't know, but there's definitely availability," Bloom said. "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." Regardless of where it lands there is no doubt plenty of interest in seeing a new "Pirates of the Caribbean" on the big screen. The five previous movies pulled in a total of $4.5 billion at the box office.
