Bruckheimer Says Margot Robbie-Linked 'Pirates' Film Won't Center on Redd
The project now rests on a single active script from franchise writer Ted Elliott.
Overview
- Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed at The Wrap’s The Grill 2025 that the next Pirates film tied to Margot Robbie will not adapt the Disney Parks character Redd.
- He said the movie is being built around an original story and character rather than a park-to-screen translation.
- Bruckheimer noted that only one script remains in development after competing drafts were narrowed, with Ted Elliott attached.
- Margot Robbie remains “attached in some way,” though final casting and specific role details have not been announced.
- Bruckheimer did not mention Johnny Depp, a silence outlets report has fueled speculation that this installment may proceed without Jack Sparrow.
