Pirates of the Caribbean 6 risks delay after Johnny Depp exit

By Callum Crumlish

Fans of Pirates of the Caribbean have been yearning for another film in the franchise since the fifth movie hit cinemas. Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge (otherwise known as Dead Men Tell No Tales) was released in 2017 and marked the last time viewers saw Johnny Depp as the antihero Captain Jack Sparrow on screen. The future of the series has been teased since then, but a release date continues to elude fans.

In recent years Depp has been axed from the franchise. The star's exit followed an ongoing court case he had with his ex-wife, Amber Heard, over "wife-beater" claims made about him. The actor has since also been axed from the Harry Potter spin-off series, Fantastic Beasts, as well because of these claims.

In lieu of Depp's return as Jack Sparrow, a Hollywood actress has been revealed as the next star of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Margot Robbie announced in 2020 that she will be involved in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 6. But Robbie's involvement may be the cause of a delay that could be incoming at any point.

In recent weeks a number of casting announcements have been made for the upcoming Barbie movie.

The film, based on the doll of the same name, stars Robbie as the titular character, alongside Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu and America Ferrera.

The Barbie movie is being directed by Greta Gerwig, of Little Women and Lady Bird fame. The live-action film is reportedly due to begin filming this year, with scope for a 2023 cinematic release.

With this in mind, it is likely the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 6 will not even begin filming until 2023 at the earliest - and that's if scripting, casting, and pre-production have already finished. Chances are, it hasn't.

This potential delay may help out Depp's chances of return, however.

With the more time that passes, Depp's chances of returning to the series in the future improve. But, for now, there has been little word about the star's comeback.

In the meantime, Robbie has confirmed her Pirates of the Caribbean film will include "lots of girl power".
