The Future Of Pirates Of The Caribbean?

[sedati]

I wasn't keen on young Sparrow, but after seeing the guy who plays him in the last movie, I think it could work.

Depp or the stand in? It was de-aging of Depp's face over a stand-in's body.

No thanks, she'll want to swashbuckle in heels.

Almost 6 mos later and I get quoted LOL!

Pumps, no but a heel on shoes/boots would be historically accurate for the men and women.

That's very interesting. I read in a few places it wasn't de-aging when the movie came out. Oh well, back to not wanting young Sparrow.

Christina Hendricks would be awesome.

Christina Hendricks would make a great Jessica Rabbit.

Perhaps there's still hope for a proper sequel.

I'm not sure I want it anymore. I feer a pirates movie without jack is just, generic pirate movie. And I don't see them using Depp at this point. It's not that I don't think a good pirates movie is possible, I just don't think Disney has the chops to do it anymore.

I want one more to wrap up the Dead men tell no tales post credit scene.

Recent (very recent) developments seem to paint Depp in a different light.

Even if he does end up being vindicated would he want to work with Disney again after they were so quick to drop him from the role? All though as far as I can tell they never officially publicly announced his exit. However if Disney can rehire James Gunn I see no reason why they cant work with Depp on one more and give some closure to Jack's story and let him finally ride off into the sunset.

They may have put a halt on another Sparrow-led sequel, but they didn't move forward without him either. More importantly, they didn't wipe the character from history either- in fact, he was added just recently to the Pirates ride in Paris.

YAY!

We finally have some news. Not what I was expecting.

 

[Captain Barbossa]

Not saying this isn't true (hope it isn't though), but Skyler/thedisinsider hasn't been accurate about their last few POTC related news, which is out of character for them (they're usually spot on). Will have to wait and see, though I'm not very optimistic.

 

[sedati]

I'd love a soft reboot with Karen at the helm, but they really need still finish what was started. If Depp is vindicated in court, I believe he deserves one more shot, and I'd love some other characters to continue if the actors are up for it.

if the plot calls for gillan auctioning chickens, i’ll wait for it to be on disney+

I would have no problem with this but the 6th one needs to wrap up Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones's plot from the last one. Maybe Redd is Jack's daughter?

OR she's his mentor, as I suggested in an earlier post. Maybe she could be the pirate he apprenticed with. That way the Sparrow character could be used minus the baggage Depp's dramas and poor writing saddled it with.

Anyway, I hope the actress cast as Redd will have a knack for comedy as well as drama, and won't be a token or a statement and all that tedious PC rot. Here's hoping.

There are so many loose ends left unanswered in this franchise, it's an embarrassment for storytelling.

-Angelica was left stranded on some island at the end of On Stranger Tides, ticked at Sparrow, and a voodoo doll in her possession which can be used to manipulate him. No explanation to where she goes from there.

-In that same movie, Serena (the mermaid) drags a wounded Philip (the priest who is in love with her) underwater claiming she could save him from dying. So... what was that all about? Did she lie and actually eat him like her sisters consumed sailors? Does she love him in return, and save him somehow? No answers there. Where did they go?

-Davy Jones' return as seen at the very end / end credits scene of Dead Men Tell No Tales. Like you mentioned, plot point totally left hanging open. Is he alive again? Was that just a dream? What did that all mean?

There needs to be some closure to these significant story lines left hanging open before a complete reboot.

 

[Darkprime]

I could get behind this. Id still be sad if Depp wasn't a core cast member. But I could live with a supporting role or even a cameo. You cant have Davy Jones come back without bringing Jack back as well.

 

[Disney Kween]

POTC without Depp is not POTC. So going forward without him I will not be watching that. I do however like the idea of Redd being a central character and Christine Hendricks would be great for that.
