In mid-November, the Australian actress Margot Robbie made a controversial statement in which she assured that Disney was not interested in continuing with the franchise of Pirates of the Caribbean without the participation of Johnny Depp, for which he stated that Pirates of the Caribbean 6 would not be released. Bad news for her, since she was contemplated in a leading role for that installment.
In the face of the controversial statement the 32-year-old actress made last month, following speculation that two different scripts were in the works for the film and rumors of Depp’s possible return as Captain Jack Sparrow, the director of the franchise denied all the deductions and assured that the project for the sixth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean It is still in progress and it will be released.
In interview for The Hollywood ReporterJerry Bruckheimer was questioned regarding the sixth part of the film about the most beloved pirate in cinema, a film that has undergone many changes since it was announced that it would no longer star Depp, for which the filmmaker confirmed that he is working on two scripts that he hopes will be achieved.
In addition, in relation to the previous statements by the interpreter of Harley Quinn, the film director assured that the project of Pirates of the Caribbean he is more alive than ever and he is sure that they will manage to pull it off, because it is a very solid story.
I think we’re pretty far along on that one as well. We have a very good script. We developed two. One with Margot Robbie and another with a younger cast. Margot Robbie’s needs a little more work. The one of the young cast is advanced. With any luck, we’ll have both ready.
I’m sure that [Margot Robbie] she was disappointed that it didn’t get done first, or maybe not because she’s really busy, so it might be beneficial if they delayed it. We think we’ll have them ready. It’s a very solid story.
On the other hand, on the subject of the recent resolution of Johnny Depp’s trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard and the possibility of the actor returning to his role, Bruckheimer said that it would be necessary to ask the managers of the Mickey Mouse house, since only they know the answer. Although he revealed that he loves the idea, since he not only considers him a great actor, but also a very good friend.
Finally, regarding the multiple insinuations that have been made regarding the option of killing Jack Sparrow as a clear ending to the character, Jerry Bruckheimer said that this is not an alternative, since on some occasion they tried to do it and it simply did not it worked for them.
