ThePirates of the Caribbeanseries of films has been one of the most successful Disney franchise for the past two decade . Its mixture of activeness , risky venture , comedy , and romance ensured there was something for everyone to enjoy , allowing it to gross a collective $ 4.5 billion dollars worldwide . It made breakout whiz out of Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom and shot Johnny Depp into superstardom with his existence of a cinematic ikon , Captain Jack Sparrow .
The adventures of Sparrow and his friends aboard the Black Pearl were immense success for Disney every few years , but by the fourth and 5th installments , fans ' stake began to wain . Poor writing , frequent wait , and sterile use of goods and services of beloved characters coerce the enfranchisement to run aground . for count anchor once again , Disney has adjudicate to fructify sail with a 6th film , hoping to breathe spirit into its flagship franchise . Here ’s all we bed about it so far !
IT WILL MOST LIKELY BE A REBOOT
If Disney is using Captain Jack ’s compass to point to the affair it want most , it ’ll repoint in the direction of a reboot . Production whiz Sean Bailey over at the House of Mouse has explain the franchise , which by the clip the sixth flick comes out will be 20 years old , needs " a kick in the pant " .
With each installation draw in less of a treasure trove , it ’s not a great time to be a sea rover , much less an old one well past its prime . Disney wants impertinent wind in the sails of its juggernaut franchise , so look to see all Modern case in all - newfangled positioning , going after all - new shiny baubles .
IT’S GOING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION
For five moving picture , thePirates of the Caribbeanseries have followed eitherCaptain Jack Sparrow , the Turners , or various frenemies to both of them ( to diminishing restoration ) . In the sixth film , Disney wants to take after a new skyline , and institute raw character to root for .
The franchise has drawn on a number of legendary pirates , some real and some enlarged , to live its high - sea yarns . Besides familiar historic faces like Blackbeard and Davey Jones , there ’s plentitude of other literary pirate Disney may choose to focus on . Perhaps a crossing with Long John Silver ?
IT’S GOT A SOLID WRITING TEAM
When Disney announced the sixth film formally last October , theDeadpoolwriting squad of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were sign on to scribe it . This was over a year ago , and since then , that duet has exited the production , paving the way of life for franchise stager Ted Elliot to return along withChernobylwriter Craig Mazin .
With an original author of the franchise back at the helm , collaborating with a author of Mazin ’s late acclaim , the sixth film is shaping up to already be estimable than the 4th and fifth installment . Those two films were a sordid departure from the typical material buff had come to require from the franchise due to Modern writers .
CAPTAIN JACK MOST LIKELY WON’T BE BACK
Dead military man order No Tales , the 5th and most recent installment in thePotCfranchise performed the worst at the box office , with much blame to be placed on the head of its star topology . Johnny Depp , who pioneeredthe iconic reference Captain Jack Sparrow , reportedly change much of the story to fit his own needs , resulting in a disorderly mickle .
Depp ’s below - par writing mesmerism aside , he is purported to command a $ 90 million dollar fee per film , which Disney may not need to pay . That , and his personal lifetime involve boozy actus reus and domesticated fierceness , while fete by pirates , does n’t translate well to box role success . He ’s also getting older , and Disney may require a fresh cheek to lead the franchise .
IT COULD HAVE A FEMALE LEAD
The franchise has been no stranger to including strong female character , from Elizabeth Swann ( who would go on to become the Pirate King ) , to Anamaria , Angelica , and the goddess Calypso bulbosa . Disney has contemplated place a distaff lead at the helm of the 6th moving picture , make inspiration from its illustrious ride .
A woman named " Redd " can be seen on the far-famed water ride at Disneyland , in plagiarizer liverybeing leered at by red-blooded military personnel in Tortuga . It ’s rumored she ’s based on legendary pirate ship Anne Bonny . It ’s been bruit that Redd will take a big role in the franchise , and possibly be diddle by Karen Gillan .
IT COULD HAVE SOME FAMILIAR FACES
Just because Disney may not be include Johnny Depp in its next film , does n’t mean other celebrated faces in the franchise ca n’t return . After all , Will Turner ( who had skipped the quaternary one on account of becoming the next captain of the Flying Dutchman ) appeared inDead Men Tell No Tales , and so did his married woman , Elizabeth .
Captain Barbossa has been along for several adventures , as have the various colourful members of Captain Jack ’s bunch . Even if the lead characters are completely smart to viewers , having a few members of the supporting cast be conversant faces might help sports fan get used to the passage .
DAVY JONES MAY BE THE VILLAIN AGAIN
In the 5th movie , the swag was Poseidon ’s Trident . Unlike all the previous pirate trinket like the Dead Man ’s Chest or the Fountain of Youth , the trident lifted all the curses by which pirates lean to extend their superstitious life , including the one tie down Davy Jones to the Locker .
In the post - credits final aspect , we see Jones seem again , in all his tentacled resplendence . This could think that he ’s back for one more round with Jack Sparrow or , if Jack is n’t in the film , he may want to punish Will Turner or his Logos Henry . Having Davy Jones be the primary villain once again would allow the film some much - needed hype , as well as mean a return for the always entertaining Bill Nighy .
SOME ASPECTS OF PIRATES 5 WILL CARRY OVER
WhenDead Men Tell No Taleshad started filming , the sixth film was hypothecate to be made back - to - back with the 5th . Joachim Rønning , who directed the fifth film as well asMaleficent 2 : schoolmistress of Evil , was expected to be back in the music director ’s chair , and so far that has n’t switch .
Kaya Scodelario , who run Carina in the 5th picture show , has stated that she ’s " contractually signed " to appear in a sixth film . Whether that ’s a reboot or another film altogether that carry on the narrative of her persona , is strange . Jerry Bruckheimer will reelect to produce .
IT COULD INVOLVE ANOTHER FILM SERIES
There have been a steady dribble of hearsay that even if the sixth film is a reboot with a smart start for the franchise , another film could be greenlit to allow for other characters from the previous five films to sway on their own adventures disjoined from the sixth celluloid . This worked forOnStranger Tides , whichwas a endure - alone narration , with allusion to the first three films but with a dissimilar adventure for the primary characters .
This could mean two parallel serial , much like how comic books have a main through - line of stories , and issues that boast alternating timelines . The alternate timeline give a great amount of creative freedom to writers without mess up the main plot of ground .
IT COULD LEAD TO A PREQUEL ON DISNEY+
Between the flagship seriesThe Mandalorian , and all the content across Disney ’s unexampled cyclosis service , Disney+ has become a heavy batter alongside Netflix , Hulu , and Amazon Prime . It ’s been rumour that thePotCfranchise may set sail in a prequel series alone on the platform .
Many fans have yearned for a " young Captain Jack Sparrow " series , chronicle the prancing privateer ’s aliveness in his former solar day sail the Seven Seas . However , ifSolois any indication of Disney ’s success with origin write up , it may not be the right time to disclose the Sojourner Truth behind the magic of Captain Jack ’s tall story .
