Should we bring Johnny Depp to “Caribbean pirates”, in fact?

In 2003, when Pirates of the Caribbean: the curse of the black pearl For the first time, theaters were a pleasant surprise. A film based on Disney driving – at a time when pirate films did not mount exactly high – it was very entertaining, made a million dollars and earned Johnny Depp his first Oscar appointment. Four variable quality suites have followed, but despite many rumors since Dead men tell no story In 2017, Pirates has no recovery yet. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer now says that there could be life in the franchise with the Depp now controversial on board – but should we really encourage?

Addressing Entertainment Weekly, Bruckheimer said that Depp was open to a return from Captain Jack Sparrow. This is important since Disney abandoned the star in 2018 in the midst of her legal drama with the former wife Amber heard; As EW notes, Depp said in court in 2022 that he would not resume the role because “there was a deep and distinct feeling of feeling betrayed by the people for whom I worked hard.”

However, now there is apparently a change. “If he likes the way the game is written, I think he would do it,” Bruckheimer told EW. “It all depends on what’s going on on the page, as we all know.”

Bruckheimer previously described a sixth potential Pirates Film as restart. In 2022, in the midst of the discussions on the capture of Margot Robbie, away from the franchise – of which he still had hope at that time – he seemed less optimistic about the creation of Depp making a kind of any kind of Pirates Back one day. However, he said: “The future has not yet been decided.”

This future is apparently here now, and Bruckheimer, who is clearly aware that every time he speaks Pirates He made the headlines, floated this possibility again. But even if someone writes the best Pirates restart the script forever, at the top of the sea hijinks The curse of the black pearlDo we really need Depp and his character to be in shoes? Captain Jack Sparrow had already exceeded his welcome before even before Depp’s personal problems became a fodder. Maybe there is no chance of getting a Pirates Film without him, we should consider letting the idea sink to the bottom of the ocean forever.
