The Wrap says
Johnny Depp is close to signing a deal to star in a fifth “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, an individual close to the negotiations told TheWrap.
In May, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said he was working on a fifth “Pirates” script -- and that he wouldn’t make the movie without Depp.
“Hopefully, if this one does well, (Depp) will want to come back and play the character again,” Bruckheimer told the L.A. Times. “But it’s going to depend on the screenplay. It always does. He’s maniacal about not wanting to disappoint his audience.”
The latest "Deadpool & Wolverine" trailer gave us a glimpse at the MCU's golden boys kicking butt and taking names - as well as a whole mess of Easter eggs.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
I'm sure he'll close the deal but on his terms...so that means they will have to wait a while before they make the 5th one.
I'm interested to see where they go with it. I'm sure Depp will sign some deal where he has the opportunity to do at least two or three major movies before he begins work on the 5th one.
If I was him, 6 would be my max. You know they will keep pushing and pushing, but don't get tied down to one role. After 6 just be like "let it die for a while, we will come back. If you don't like that idea, then find someone else" and the franchise will die on its own.
I hope the next to films are on an epic scale so that it can end with a bang. OST was a bit too tame in comparison to DMC and AWE.
Character Development was a big letdown in OST for me also, Blackbeard came off as a joke of a Pirate instead of menacing like Davy Jones. Story was decent for what it was, but otherwise there were no epic set pieces or Massive CGI creatures or scenes like the previous two.
If I was the director of the next Pirates film, I would make the story a prequel, detailing the story of how Jack Sparrow got the Black Pearl from Davy Jones. That way we can continue the greater focus on Jack, have Davy Jones and Ol' beasty back, as well as a shit ton of action and adventure, whilst developing Jack as a character, and how he came to be.
