Pirates 6 Development Continues; Margot Robbie Attached

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer said the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is still in active development and that the team is "working on a script," with Margot Robbie remaining attached. He said the production at one point had two scripts, one was dropped, and veteran writer Ted Elliott contributed while another writer was brought in to fill gaps. Bruckheimer added the project will not move forward until the script is right and there is no official confirmation that Johnny Depp will return as Captain Jack Sparrow, though he has previously hinted he would consider it. He delivered the update at TheGrill 2025, saying Disney continues to explore reboot and female-led options as it seeks to revive the franchise, which has been dormant since 2017.
