Elsewhere, Johnny Depp, who is enjoying a comeback, is reportedly in ‘advanced’ talks to reprise his role in yet another Pirates of the Caribbean adventure.
The UK website Express reported the bosses at Disney, which made the five previous Pirates films, are getting ready to greenlight the project, quoted a senior executive who said ‘It’s very close to being a done deal.’
‘A script is already in place and Disney views this as a series reboot, meaning the door will be wide open for more future episodes for Johnny, despite everything he has been through,’ the exec told the outlet.
Depp, 61, was dropped by Disney after his ex-wife, Amber Heard, wrote about her experience as a victim of domestic abuse, although she did not publicly name Depp as her alleged abuser.
After the op-ed was published a UK newspaper that branded him a ‘wife beater,’ and he was dropped by Disney and from other projects including the Fantastic Beasts franchise.
Depp lost his defamation suit against the UK publication, but won millions in a civil trial in the US against Heard, 38, vindicating himself while destroying Heard’s career.
