When asked about it, he replied: “She went off so nice, I mean she sailed away brilliantly.” hinting that she is pleased with the way her character has been exited.

What will become of Pirates of the Caribbean?

the debut of the franchise Pirates of the Caribbean it happened in 2003 with the first film, then continuing with four more and expanding with comics, novels and more. The saga has become iconic, managing to collect enough to recover the high production costs. It is therefore not surprising that the manufacturer, Jerry Bruckheimer, has always left open a possible continuation with other films.

But what about Pirates of the Caribbean without its iconic protagonist? The public has never accepted a continuation of the saga without the pirate Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp. The producer himself never seems to have had the intention, but given the actor’s legal problems in recent years, related to his divorce with Amber Heard, there have been strong doubts about Depp’s return to the big screen.

In any case, Bruckheimer said he was ready to call Depp back for the sixth film. Given Knightley’s intentions instead, Orlando Bloom is likely to suffer the same fate, given the love story between their characters. It is possible therefore, that in the next film they will see each other new young cast members.
