In October of last year, we got two pieces of news regarding the future of PotC on the silver screen.
1. Johnny Depp was fired
2. PotC was up for a reboot (despite having two dangling plot threads with Angelica's fate and the resurrection of Davy Jones.)
To that I say....is a reboot even necessary?
The third movie, At World's End, expanded upon the PotC lore with the addition of pirates from all over the world, from Mistress Ching (based on the real life pirate Ching I Sao) to Gentleman Jocard.
Why not just build outwards from the main movie series instead of just scrapping it in favor of a new series?
How about bringing Penelope Cruz back for an Angelica movie to tie up her arc?
(bonus if you get Salma Hayek in there too. Because reasons.)
As long as you don't do something crazy stupid like re-casting major characters like Jack Sparrow (see: Star Wars Stories and Alden Ehrenreich's zero-charisma turn as Han Solo), it could be a success.
Heck, I kind of want to see a movie based on the adventures of Hat Guy.
