Pirates of the Caribbean Reboot and Margot Robbie Movie Confirmed

May 21, 2024 10:19 AM

Exciting news for Pirates of the Caribbean fans: not one, but two new movies are in development. Franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that Margot Robbie's previously rumored film is separate from the reboot being created by Jeff Nathanson, the writer behind 2019's The Lion King. This comes after Robbie expressed doubts about the project's continuation. The reboot will proceed independently, while Robbie's film, penned by Christina Hodson of Birds of Prey fame, remains on the table with Disney's strong interest, likely spurred by her blockbuster success with Barbie.

Are two new Pirates of the Caribbean movies really being made?

Yes, Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that two separate Pirates of the Caribbean movies are in development – a reboot and a film starring Margot Robbie.

Margot Robbie is a multifaceted talent whose career continues to soar. Following her breakout role in The Wolf of Wall Street, she has portrayed iconic characters like Harley Quinn in the DC Extended Universe and achieved massive success with her role in Barbie. Additionally, she’s involved in projects based on popular games The Sims and Monopoly, showcasing her versatility and broad appeal in both film and gaming industries.
