Pirates of the Caribbean movie to be rebooted, The Last of Us creator to serve as screenwriter

Nearly seven years have passed since the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie was released, and Disney is still looking for a new direction for this hit series. It is reported that the filmmakers have considered various options, including a new work starring Margot Robbie, and a nostalgic route for the return of Captain Jack Sparrow played by Johnny Depp. However, the latest news indicates that the series will be completely restarted, abandoning the old settings and opening a new chapter with new concepts and characters.

ComicBook recently interviewed legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer. In addition to his new work "The Ungentlemanly War Department", the interview also involved the future direction of his two popular series "Top Gun" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". When Bruckheimer was asked which series would return to the big screen first, he revealed the decision to restart "Pirates of the Caribbean".

He said the production of the sequel has not yet been finalized. "Top Gun" has Tom Cruise, an iconic and powerful actor, whose schedule will directly affect the start time of the sequel. In contrast, the reboot of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is relatively flexible and not restricted by the schedule of specific actors.

Tom Cruise, the star of Top Gun, has been offered many films, including the sequel to Top Gun 2: Maverick. Therefore, the progress of the sequel to the Top Gun series depends largely on Cruise's schedule. The reboot of Pirates of the Caribbean means a brand new creation, and the Disney team will create the story and characters from scratch.

How the new chapter of the series will unfold is exciting. Although the option of Margot Robbie starring in the film has not been completely ruled out, considering the huge success of Barbie, the promotion of this option may face greater challenges. What is certain is that the rebooted Pirates of the Caribbean will have subversive innovations.

It is reported that Craig Mazin, the main creator of "The Last of Us", and the original screenwriter Ted Elliott jointly created a fantastic script for the reboot of "Pirates of the Caribbean", which was affirmed by Disney. Craig Mazin said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "We didn't think Disney would accept such a novel setting at first, but unexpectedly, they not only accepted it, but also appreciated the wonderful script we completed. Unfortunately, due to the strike last year, the progress of the project has been temporarily shelved and can only wait for the restart."
