Pirates of the Caribbean 6 has been a long time coming, especially since the post-credits scene of the fifth Pirates film set up the return of the franchise's iconic villain, Davy Jones (Bill Nighy). It's been almost a decade since the release of the fifth installment, which has raised the question of whether the popular film franchise will make a comeback with a sixth movie, with or without Jack Sparrow. 593q3z

Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the most successful franchises in Disney's history, and the studio has been working on getting Pirates of the Caribbean 6made for some time. Now it looks like the best path forward might be to combine their multiple ideas. Understanding why Pirates 6 has taken so long is complex, especially after a slew of controversies with franchise star Johnny Depp. However, Disney still seems committed to making another movie, and there is a clear new way forward.

Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is officially in development, but there are some major problems that the sequel must overcome if it’s going to succeed. The most obvious obstacle is Johnny Depp, whose involvement hasn’t yet been confirmed but seems almost necessary at this point to bring audiences back into this beloved world. However, it’s looking less likely that Depp will be returning as Captain Jack Sparrow in the near future, leaving Pirates of the Caribbean 6 without too many safe options.

Pirates of the Caribbean sailed off into uncharted waters at the end of the 2010s, despite a few promising storylines left that could have been developed into another sequel. It's generally agreed that the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie is the best and that the franchise has been in slow decline ever since 2003. However, the movies have remained heavy box office hitters, speaking to fans' continued fondness for the wacky characters, the swashbuckling action, and the period aesthetics.

Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow may not be in Pirates of the Caribbean 6, and while that would be a shame, there's one big change that could perfectly set the sequel up to succeed without him. Though Jack Sparrow is the most iconic part of the franchise, the long-confirmed sequel, Pirates of the Carribean 6, may not include him. There's been no official word on Johnny Depp's return from Disney, and it seems that POTC 6 has found a replacement star in the form of Margot Robbie. While many POTC fans - myself included - would love to see Jack Sparrow return, it's simply not a guarantee.

Although all the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies have their defenders, it is not hard to name the biggest issue with the series and the main problem Pirates of the Caribbean 6 must fix. It is currently unclear whether Pirates of the Caribbean 6 will ever arrive, even though series producer Jerry Bruckheimer has repeatedly hinted at the possibility in recent years. The fact that Margot Robbie’s Pirates of the Caribbean reboot fell through despite her A-list status seems to bode badly for the future of the series, which stalled due to numerous issues.

While the status of Jack Sparrow's return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is uncertain, the next potential entry in the saga must recall what made the original film a smash hit. It has been nearly a decade since the last time the Pirates franchise set sail at the box office, and Disney has a challenging task ahead of them in returning the series to its former glory.

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has always had a loose association with history, but these five real-life pirates would be perfect additions to Pirates of the Caribbean 6. Many of the main characters of Pirates of the Caribbean were inspired by historical figures; Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), for instance, draws upon several real-life pirates, like "Calico" Jack Rackham and Samuel Bellamy. POTC has even included characters who were directly based on actual pirates, such as Edward "Blackbeard" Teach (Ian McShane) in On Stranger Tides. Even after five movies, however, POTC still has real pirates it could incorporate.

Pirates of the Caribbean 6doesn't technically need Johnny Depp to return as Captain Jack Sparrow, and these two other Disney franchises prove it. Originally confirmed in 2018, following the fifth film in the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean 6 has had many updates over the years. From writers dropping out, to rumors of a reboot, the sequel has been in, what appears to be, development hell for nearly eight years, leaving many wondering why Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is taking so long. With no official release date or casting announcements, the movie still largely remains a mystery.

While we know we're getting a Pirates of the Caribbean 6, it's still unclear what that movie will actually look like. The lack of information about even the cast of the film makes it difficult to predict, as the focus of the film could be heavily dependent on which cast return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. While Keira Knightley has made it clear that she has no plans to return to Pirates of the Caribbean, other cast have not been as vocal about their plans. It still remains to be seen whether Johnny Depp will return as Jack Sparrow.
