Bruckheimer Says ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Reboot Advances With One Script as Margot Robbie Stays Attached

The producer says the team has narrowed multiple drafts to one, prioritizing a finished screenplay before any next steps.

Overview

  • Jerry Bruckheimer told The Wrap they are working on a script and emphasized that nothing will move forward unless it works on the page.
  • He said two scripts were developed before one was dropped, with the surviving draft worked on by veteran writer Ted Elliott and another contributor.
  • Bruckheimer confirmed Margot Robbie remains involved after previous reports suggested her proposed direction had been shelved.
  • The latest interview did not address Johnny Depp’s potential involvement, with earlier remarks from Bruckheimer suggesting any return would hinge on the writing.
  • Orlando Bloom has expressed interest in reuniting the original cast if the script merits it, while Keira Knightley says there have been no conversations about a return.
