'There's a large portion of the Disney fanbase who will not watch the film no matter what if Johnny Depp is not included.' Keira Knightley to save the day? Pirates of the Caribbean 6's intriguing rumors

Ahoy, mates! As the ship of speculation sails on the choppy waters of Pirates of the Caribbean 6, there's a potential return of Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann Turner in the horizon, as reported by Inside the Magic on January 29, 2023.

Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom: The Comeback Rumors

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is in a whirlpool of rumors, especially regarding Johnny Depp's non-return as Captain Jack Sparrow. Now, whispers of Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom's reprisal of their roles as Elizabeth Swann Turner and Will Turner have the fans' attention.

"The most logical answer for what Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is based on, if Johnny Depp is not going to be a part, is to have an adventure with Bloom and Knightley as the protagonists," Inside the Magic noted. The ending of Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) showed the characters in an intriguing scene, sparking speculations about their return.

A Reboot, A Revival, or a Return of Favorites?

While the rumors swirl around the casting of Margot Robbie, Dwayne Johnson, Dylan O’Brien, and Maya Hawke, nothing's confirmed. Some speculate a reboot with a younger cast, but others lean toward a continuation featuring our beloved Elizabeth and Will.

"If Disney is certain it won't bring back Depp, it would make sense to give fans an adventure with these two, especially after they weren't involved at all in the fourth installment of the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)," the article continued.

However, many questions linger, especially regarding the loss of the comic relief that Captain Jack Sparrow provided. The charm of a charismatic personality, like Dwayne Johnson, might be the solution.

With fans divided - some refusing to watch without Depp, others willing to give it a chance if there's intrigue - the entire situation is shrouded in uncertainty.
