Summary
Pirates of the Caribbean 6is being eagerly awaited by fans around the world, but a key franchise figure has recently teased that the Margot RobbiePiratesspinoff may now be deemed a bigger priority.Piratesproducer Jerry Bruckheimer has commentedthatDisney is now keener than ever to get Robbie’s franchise installment into production, despite mixed messages about the project being scrapped. The movie was first announced almost half a decade ago and progress since has been almost non-existent. However, Bruckheimer’s remarks have sparked speculation that the movie could be fast-tracked.
Pirates of the Caribbean 6and Robbie’s spinoff movie are separate projects. WhilePOTC 6is expected to be a reboot, it’s unclear whether this means the universe will receive a hard reset or whether the movie will simply focus on another group of characters within the same continuity. Robbie’sPiratesmovie is similarly nebulous at present, but the leader of theBarbiecastcould find herself fronting the Disney-owned franchise sooner rather than later.

Pirates Of The Caribbean Update Sounds Like Disney Is Hopeful For Margot Robbie’s Spinoff
Bruckheimer’s comment makes it seem like Robbie’s movie is coming relatively soon
With Johnny Depp’s return to the franchise as Captain Jack Sparrow being hugely uncertain, Disney is eager to have a new face of the franchise. WhileDepp could still conceivably come back forPOTC 6, Margot Robbie’sPiratesproject is surely hers to lead. Speaking withEntertainment Weekly, Bruckheimer confirmed, “We want to get ‘em both made, and I think Disney agrees they really want to make the Margot one too.”
With no stars attached toPOTC 6, Robbie’s movie would seem to be the priority for Disney out of the two films.
With no stars attached toPOTC 6, Robbie’s movie would seem to be the priority for Disney out of the two films, especially since thePiratesmovie franchise has been inactive since 2017’sDead Men Tell No Tales. There’s also the consideration thatBarbie’s recent box office triumph will strongly work in Margot Robbie’s favorwhen it comes to finally getting herPOTCproject off the ground. This would explain Disney seemingly having a change of heart regarding whether the movie should happen at all.
Why Margot Robbie’s Pirates Of The Caribbean Spinoff Could Be A Safer Bet Than POTC 6
Pirates 6 may need to start from scratch in terms of its appeal
Because there are so few details aboutPOTC 6, it’s impossible to tell which direction the reboot will take and when it will even happen - despite the fact the movie is confirmed. When it does happen, it could realistically focus on an entirely fresh group of characters, who audiences may not gravitate to immediately in the wake of Depp’s potential departure. Inversely,Margot Robbie is currently one of the biggest names on the planet, and so there’s an increased likelihood of viewers flocking to see herPiratesmovie rather than the rebooted universe inPirates of the Caribbean 6.
