The PiratesoftheCaribbean franchise has failed to set sail with various abandoned sequels over the years.
While Margot Robbie has done all kinds of movies in her career, one feature audiences won't be seeing her headlining in the near future is a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. In a recent interview, Robbie revealed that her proposed Pirates of the Caribbean spin-off that would've had a female-led cast was dead in the water. Given the minimal movement on it since it was announced in June 2020, it shouldn’t be a surprise that this project wasn’t going forward.
Equally true, unfortunately, is the fact that the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels are grotesquely expensive affairs to make. Shooting many of these movies on location, the costs of keeping cast members on board long-term, and just getting all those digital effects done in time for unmovable release dates keeps these budgets skyrocketing.
What's Happening With the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Reboot? However, in 2018, a radically different direction for the franchise was explored with Deadpool screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick getting recruited to pen a script for a potential reboot of the franchise. However, the screenwriters had left the project by early 2019, though Disney wasn't giving up on the idea of giving the Pirates of the Caribbean saga a revamp just yet.
Nowhere to Draw Ideas From There was never any follow-up news on Mazin’s involvement in that Pirates reboot, though his subsequent TV project The Last of Us presumably ensured that his schedule was now much too crowded for swashbucklers. The constant dead ends for these reboots seem to indicate that the Pirates of the Caribbean movies face a unique problem in the world of modern franchises.
