Pirates of the Caribbean Reboot: Here is everything you need to know
Pirates of the Caribbean reboot looks to be back on track. It seems pretty clear that Disney will not be bringing back Johnny Depp. Read for more details.
The last instalment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was released in 2017. It was considered the strongest sequel to On Stranger Tides which came out in 2011. It has been only two years since the last instalment released and the studio is already setting up a reboot.
Here is everything the Pirate fans need to know before the franchise sets to sail once again:
Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick make an exit
The Deadpool writer duo of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who were hired last year by Disney to reboot the franchise, is no longer a part of the team. They have left the project, as per recent reports. However, it seems they have got a replacement.
Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin to reboot the franchise
It is now being reported that Disney has brought onboard Emmy-winning Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin and Ted Elliott. They could be developing a story for a new Pirates movie. The veteran Ted Elliott is known for co-writing the earlier Pirates films.

What happens to the main player – Jack Sparrow?
When the reboot was initially announced last year, it was not certain whether Depp would make a return as Jack Sparrow and it still remains unclear if he will be part of future plans. After Salazar's Revenge aka Dead Men Tell No Tales, there were many suggestions that the movie could be the final outing for Johnny Depp after the previous writer Stuart Beattie spoke about the idea of Depp not making a comeback.From the fans' perspective, it only makes sense for Johnny Depp to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the film, who, after five films' worth of curses and escapes, has made it alive. But it remains unclear if Johnny Depp will indeed be seen reprising his role as Jack Sparrow. Fans are now creating online petitions demanding the makers to bring back Captain Jack Sparrow in the film.
