Pirates of the Caribbean

Late last year, it was announced that Disney is planning to reboot its Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Now, according to insider Daniel Richtman, Disney is eyeing Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Karen Gillan to star in the project.

It was previously rumored that the studio was hoping to reboot the franchise with a female lead, and it appears that this is indeed the case. Gillan, if cast, would star as an adventurer after a lost treasure who is described as skilled, witty, and impulsive.

The film is currently being written by Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin and Ted Elliott, who co-wrote the first four Pirates of the Caribbean movies, to craft a story for the franchise relaunch.

Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman are both signed on to produce with the studio still searching for a director to helm the project.

Without Jack Sparrow, there is no Pirates of the Caribbean.

    This has worked it so many times in the past.

    It’ll work out just as well, with this franchise.

    Simps will call it a good idea, but even they won’t go and see it.

Pirates of the Caribbean survived for decades without Captain Jack Sparrow, I’d love to see the redhead take the lead.

No Captain Jack Sparrow? I won’t be watching it. I hate studios characters we fall in love with and then change them in mid stream. And then ask us to spend our money to watch a knock off.

Johnny Depp IS Pirates of the Caribbean. He made the franchise a WORLDWIDE success….it was Captain Jack Sparrow people fell in love with. Without that character it would’ve been nothing else than a boring pirate movie.
So…if they don’t bring Johnny back, I’m not gonna watch.

Love Karen Gillan BUT No Johnny Depp NO Pirates of The Caribbean for me. And PLEASE Hollywood stop with the hijacking of franchises for female driven vehicles. It’s tiresome, pandering and downright LAZY! Create strong female characters and new material instead!

[…] a man who might actually be an idiot who’s only gotten lucky. My hopes are that the proposed reboot or Margot Robbie-led spin-off is able to revitalize this series, even if Jack Sparrow isn’t […]
