Pirates Of The Caribbean 6
Just one year after Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales failed to buoy a franchise on its decline, Disney is planning a reboot to its blockbuster the series. Deadline reports that Deadpool scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are in “early talks” with Disney, who apparently want the pirates to say “fuck” a lot now.
Deadline notes that Jerry Bruckheimer will stay on as producer and that previous cast members could also appear, which really wouldn’t make it a reboot at all. They note that this also includes franchise star Johnny Depp, who was once indispensable as Captain Jack Sparrow but has also seen his star fall in the wake of domestic abuse allegations, stupid comments, and unflattering profiles.
“Pirates of the Caribbean: At world’s end” was the third film of the series and completed the planned three films. He also brought a rather large box office. But in General fees are the three parts made up more than 2 billion $. This past summer, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales came and went without much pomp and circumstance. The sequel only has 30% at Rotten Tomatoes, and while it. Disney is moving forward with Pirates of the Caribbean 6 but that raises questions about Johnny Depp's potential involvement.
Regardless, the five Pirates films are coming back, with or without Depp. That $4.5 billion they raked in over the past 14 years ain’t nothing to sniff at. Infinite stratos season 3.
As for Reese and Wernick, they’re currently at work on a Clue reboot with Deadpool collaborator Ryan Reynolds, and will see their scripts for Zombieland 2 and Michael Bay’s 6 Underground come to life next year.
Pirates Of The Caribbean 6th Movie
Yes, The Mummy was an artistic disaster and limped to $408 million worldwide almost entirely on Tom Cruise’s star power. But if we still get Bill Condon’s The Bride of Frankenstein in 2020 or later, it’ll be protected by the likes of Fast and Furious 9 and Minions 2. And that’s not even counting if we get a fast-tracked Dwayne Johnson/Jason Statham Fast and Furious spinoff to replace the FF9 that just moved to April of 2020. The Dark Universe isn’t in great shape, but it’s not remotely a do-or-die franchise for Universal. They can cancel it (or make Bride entirely stand-alone and/or make it an outright R-rated horror movie) or they can roll the dice precisely because they don’t need it.
Walt Disney is in the same boat with Pirates, a series that is much more successful than (for example, in terms of will they/won’t they sequels) Tron: Legacy or Pacific Rim ever was. The funny thing is, in any other situation, we’d absolutely be getting a sequel to a movie that earned $794 million worldwide, no matter the critical response. Heck, Disney just hired one of the Pirates 5 directors to helm Maleficent 2, over three years after that Angelina Jolie fantasy snagged $759m worldwide. So it will be interesting to see if Dead Men Tell No Tales is really the end of the line.
Universal/Comcast Corp. and Walt Disney are in similar envious positions right now, in that they can choose to continue or end their franchises precisely because they have enough other biggies that those properties are not essential to their survival. I might argue that Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc. is in the same boat with the LEGO movies after LEGO Movie 2. Has Jack Sparrow sunk his last ship? Will the Dark Universe live long enough to get its proverbial Wonder Woman? Or maybe Universal can just arbitrarily designate Glass as the next chapter in the Dark Universe. I’ve been begging them to slap the Illumination label on the next batch of Laika movies for a year now. This story is most certainly to be continued.
