In 2020, it was revealed that Disney had hired Margot Robbie and Birds Of Prey writer Christina Hodson to develop a spin-off of the Pirates of the Caribbean series that would focus on heroines instead of Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow. Most recently, Jerry Bruckheimer, the successful producer behind the “Pirates Of The Caribbean” complete series, said a few months ago that the project was still being worked on. But that is no longer the case.
As part of an interview for a detailed magazine cover story Margot Robbie revealed to journalist Rebecca Ford that the project is dead:
“We had an idea and we’ve been developing it for a while, but ages ago, to have a more female-led — not fully female-led, but a slightly different story. We thought that would have been pretty cool, but I think her [Anm.: Disney] don’t want to do it again.”
Without Robbie and probably without Depp: another “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie in the works
Disney has not yet commented on the end of the project. It’s quite possible that the mouse house just picked another Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Because even before Robbie’s idea for the project came to light, Disney commissioned the duo Ted Elliott, the author of the first four “Pirates Of The Caribbean” installments, and Craig Mazin (“Chernobyl”) to create a sixth “Pirates of the Caribbean”. “. ‘ film to develop.
This one “Pirates of the Caribbean 6should act as a reboot and also without Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow. However, there hasn’t been an update on this project for a long time, apart from Jerry Bruckheimer’s statement that development is still ongoing. However, it’s unlikely that Disney will drop the successful franchise altogether. So it remains to be seen when there will be an update on Elliott and Mazin’s plans.
While it’s uncertain when there will be more information on the progression of the pirate franchise in movie theaters, we do know when Margot Robbie returns to the big screen. While you can currently see her alongside Christian Bale and John David Washington in Amsterdam (which we don’t recommend though), she will be seen alongside Brad Pitt and Diego Calva in Babylon on January 19, 2023.
