Meanwhile, Disney is working on a new Pirates of the Caribbean film. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has announced that the screenplay is nearing completion. However, plans remain fluid, with several scripts under consideration.
As for fan-favorite character Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, speculation continues about his potential return. At this moment, there are no confirmed details regarding Depp’s involvement in the upcoming project.
As the franchise evolves, the Pirates of the Caribbean legacy persists, promising exciting new adventures for fans worldwide.
