"Disney isn't enthusiastic anymore": Sailing into Rough Waters with Pirates of the Caribbean 6
Ahoy, mateys! Remember when the seas were buzzing with anticipation for the sixth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean? the tides have certainly turned, and the waters look a tad choppy.
Changing Course: From Margot to Mayhem
It wasn't too long ago when Margot Robbie was hailed as the new face of the franchise. The initial winds indicated a female-led spin-off, aiming to capture the same magic as the previous films but with a fresh twist. "The idea was to come up with a female-led project," said Robbie. But alas, it seems those dreams might be cast away into Davy Jones's locker, as Disney reportedly isn't boarding that ship anymore.
Moreover, whispers of Warner Bros extending a friendly hand to the Jack Sparrow icon, Johnny Depp, are making rounds. Could this be why the spin-off idea got torpedoed?
Disney Drops Anchor: A Franchise Without Its Star?
"Johnny Depp is considered the face of the franchise," an insider claimed. Ever since the studio unceremoniously dropped Depp post-accusations of domestic abuse, fans have hoisted their flags, making it clear they're not setting sail without Captain Jack Sparrow at the helm. With such tempestuous waves from the fandom, it's no wonder Disney is rethinking its strategy.
The rumblings don't just end there. A recent report via Insidethemagic.com suggests that the studio has officially put a halt on *Pirates of the Caribbean 6*. Neither Depp nor Robbie will be steering this ship, it seems. The long-standing reboot by Ted Elliott and Craig Mazin is also veiled in mystery, as updates on its progress remain scarce.
