- His remarks were brief and noncommittal, and he disclosed no talks, deals, or story details about a new installment.
- Longtime producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed a franchise reboot is in development and reiterated that any Depp comeback depends on the role as written.
- Bruckheimer is reported to be developing two scripts, including a mainline continuation and a separate spinoff that industry reports have linked to Margot Robbie.
