Orlando Bloom isn’t holding back when it comes to the long awaited sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film. Speaking at Fan Expo Chicago via Entertainment Weekly, the actor who brought Will Turner to life shared his excitement about potentially dusting off his sword for another high-seas adventure. But he’s clear: it all boils down to nailing that perfect script. Bloom’s got his fingers crossed for a full blown reunion with the original stars, emphasizing how the franchise could really shine by bringing back the magic that kicked off the series back in 2003, other than the main cast coming back, he doesn’t really see it going well for Pirates 6
Why a Full Cast Comeback Could Be the Treasure Fans Are Hunting For
- Script is King: Bloom stressed that “everything is in the writing,” and he’s game if the story pulls everyone in for one more epic ride, saying it’d be like going “in for a penny, in for a pound.”
- Bring Back the Icons: He’s pushing hard for Johnny Depp to reprise his legendary role as the quirky Captain Jack Sparrow, alongside Keira Knightley as the fierce Elizabeth Swann. Bloom admitted, “I would personally love to see everybody back,” believing that’s the surefire way to make the movie a hit.
- Nod to the Legacy: Reflecting on the blockbuster trilogy that raked in billions, Bloom highlighted how the original lineup—from Curse of the Black Pearl to At World’s End—created unforgettable chemistry, even if later films like On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales shifted the spotlight mostly to Depp’s Sparrow.
Will Johnny Depp Come Back
Despite past hurdles, Bruckheimer revealed he’s chatted with Depp about returning, contingent on a script that clicks. “If he likes the way the part’s written, I think he would do it,” Bruckheimer said, adding that they’re honing in on the right story.
Final Thoughts
Until they bring back Depp and make him the focal point and giving him a proper farewell with him passing the torch to the next big lead. Fans don’t really see the franchise doing well, especially with Pirates of The Caribbean 6. There is still a lot to plan for so the release date isn’t in sight yet, but let’s hope for Captain Jack Sparrow’s return to the franchise.
