The new "Pirates of the Caribbean" may see the return of the main characters from the original trilogy. This refers to Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann, according to UNN, citing The DisInsider.
Details
As stated in the material, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley will return to their famous roles. The film will be a soft reboot that will introduce new central characters to the universe.
However, there is currently no director, and once one signs a contract, the script will most likely be reworked. Disney D23 Expo will likely be the time when an official announcement about the new film will be made.
In addition, according to the publication, the Pirates film starring Margot Robbie, to which "Bumblebee" screenwriter Christina Hodson was attached, has been put on hold and will likely never be made.
