After leaving Marvel: This star is now about to take over the legacy of Johnny Depp’s “Pirates of the Caribbean”!

Sometimes everything happens very quickly: Ayo Edebiri was a household name not so long ago, but the 28-year-old is currently developing into one of THE shooting stars in Hollywood. With her appearances in “The Bear”, “Bottoms” and “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse” she quickly established herself among the big players of the dream factory:

Originally, Edebiri was going to appear in Marvel’s “Lightning strikes“ make their official MCU debut, but nothing comes of it. As we recently reported, last year’s strikes led to significant filming delays, which are now causing some scheduling conflicts. Edebiri has to let go of the superhero cosmos and has now been replaced by Geraldine Viswanathan. Just over a week after the new lineup was announced, the Not-Marvel star is now linked to the next mega-blockbuster – which is also currently in the works at Disney.

Like the Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman reports nowEdebiri is a top contender for the lead role in a new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film. Further details about her character, who is reportedly named Anne, are not yet known. There is also no official confirmation from Disney yet.

Not the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean” with Margot Robbie!

Two new ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ adventures are said to be currently in the works. That is why the question now arises as to which film this is actually about: according to the first information That’s not the point Spin-off with Margot Robbiein which the “Barbie” star will lead a predominantly female cast. The project from “Birds Of Prey” author Christina Hodson is said to still be in development.

The movie ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ has been affected Craig Mazin And Ted Elliott. The creator of ‘Chernobyl’ and ‘The Last Of Us’ and the franchise veteran with pirate experience are working in parallel on their own project, which was originally supposed to revolve around the main character of the underlying Disneyland attraction. It appears nothing will come of plans to adapt the idea into a film starring “Guardians Of The Galaxy” star Karen Gillan. Instead, they are now planning an adventure with a “younger cast of pirates going on a treasure hunt.” Edebiri is more than eight years younger than Gillan.

And what about Johnny Depp?

It is still unclear whether we will see Johnny Depp again as a cult drunk on the high seas. After the public war of the roses between the Jack Sparrow actor and his ex-wife Amber Heard (“Aquaman”), the 60-year-old and the Mouse House finally went their separate ways – although they want to “leave a back door open” for a possible return possible if necessary. In which of the two planned films – or perhaps in another, third film – is still unclear.
