Pirates Of The Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that a “reboot” to the franchise is underway, but some fans are disappointed to hear that one of its most iconic characters will not be returning.Speaking recently with ComicBook.com, Bruckheimer discussed the logistics behind revisiting popular films, including his 1986 film Top Gun, for which a sequel was made in 2022 with Top Gun: Maverick.Bruckheimer said: “You don’t know, you really don’t know.

Because with Top Gun, you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does Top Gun, I can’t tell you.”He then confirmed: “But we’re gonna reboot Pirates…, so that is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.”Back in 2022, Bruckheimer shared that Johnny Depp wouldn’t be returning to the franchise for the rumoured sixth film.Depp played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow throughout the popular franchise, receiving an Academy Award nomination for his performance in The Curse Of The Black Pearl (2003).Depp’s fans are taking to social media to share their thoughts on his reported absence from any reboots.No Johnny Depp = No Pirates of the Caribbean that man was the face of the franchise… pic.twitter.com/pph63kH2FW— Reece (@Tailor_Made_x) March 26, 2024There's no fucking point in having Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny Depp.
