Orlando Bloom expresses optimism about potential return to Pirates of the Caribbean franchise
Nearly a decade after Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales premiered, speculation about the future of the beloved Disney franchise continues to grow. With two new films reportedly in development and rumors swirling about a possible reconciliation between Disney and Johnny Depp, longtime fans are eager to see familiar faces return — including Orlando Bloom. Appearing on ITV's This Morning to promote his upcoming film Deep Cover, Bloom was asked about potentially reprising his role as Will Turner. While remaining cautious, he appeared open to the idea, saying, 'Well, I don't know, I can't say anything at the moment because I really don't know, but there's definitely availability.' He added, '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.' Bloom was a central figure in the original trilogy but stepped away from the franchise after 2007's At World's End, only returning for a brief post-credits appearance in Dead Men Tell No Tales. Though his cameo — alongside co-stars Keira Knightley and Bill Nighy — hinted at a potential reunion, the series was soon derailed by legal and public controversies surrounding Johnny Depp. Franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer previously confirmed to Collider that two scripts are in development. One is being written by Rush Hour and Catch Me If You Can screenwriter Jeff Nathanson. 'We have another one… We have two, and we don't know who's gonna win the horse race at this point,' Bruckheimer stated. With Bloom expressing enthusiasm and developments underway, the possibility of a revived Pirates ensemble remains afloat.

Sharon Osbourne Says Stopping Ozzy Auditioning For This Major Film Is Her 'Biggest Mistake'
Sharon Osbourne has claimed that her husband Ozzy was once invited to audition for one of the biggest franchises in modern movie history. The former X Factor judge – who is Ozzy's manager, as well as his wife of more than 40 years – recently spoke to Smashing Pumpkins musician Billy Corgan on his podcast The Magnificent Others. During the conversation, Sharon disclosed: the 'biggest mistake' she ever made on behalf of the Black Sabbath musician. She recalled: 'He got offered to go and read for Pirates Of The Caribbean – and I've never said this to anyone – and I said no.' 'Now wouldn't he have been perfect?' she recalled, to which Billy agreed: 'Maybe it's not too late, but God bless.' Sharon did not disclose the role that Ozzy was invited to read for, but the Disney franchise did feature a number of prolific British cameos over the years. Rolling Stones icon Keith Richards appeared in two of the movies as Captain Teague, the father of Johnny Depp's character, Jack Sparrow. In 2017, Paul McCartney also made a brief cameo in the most recent film, Dead Men Tell No Tales, as Jack Sparrow's uncle, who he was apparently named after. It's now been almost a decade since the last Pirates Of The Caribbean film was released, with reports of a reboot for the swashbuckling series having repeatedly emerged over the past few years. Back in 2022, producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that two different projects based on the Pirates films were in the works, one of which would be a reboot, reportedly with Emmy winner Ayo Edebiri at the helm as a new pirate character. Margot Robbie has also been vocal about her hopes to revive the franchise with a female-led cast. One person we shouldn't expect to make an appearance, though, is Johnny Depp, who claimed during his 2022 court case that he wouldn't work with Disney again even for '$300 million and a million alpacas'.
