Release Date of Pirates of the Carribean 6 : Mid 2022 Maybe
The film was initially expected to release this year. According to sources, Disney is in the early stages of developing the sixth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean. New writers Jeff Nathanson and Terry Rossio are working on the script, with the release now anticipated around fall 2022.
Fans are eager to know the cast of the sixth film. However, it seems unlikely that Johnny Depp will reprise his role as confirmed by the new writers. Rumors suggest disagreements arose due to Depp’s alleged demand for a high payout, causing a rift between the parties.
The story is expected to center on Will Turner’s nightmare, where he envisions the return of Davy Jones. This nightmare becomes reality as Davy Jones returns, seeking revenge. The film is also set to introduce new characters, including a female pirate rumored to replace Johnny Depp’s iconic role.
Fans have shown mixed reactions to these developments. It remains to be seen what 2020 has in store for Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
(Update 04/04/20) Release Date Likely to be Pushed beyond 2022
While there is no confirmation as far as the release date is concerned, we believe that it is likely to be pushed beyond 2022. This is obviously due to the current global crisis.
Meanwhile, the presence of Johnny Depp in the movie remains suspenseful. While a majority of the news outlets, including us, believe that he has been dropped, there is no official word as of yet. Another interesting aspect is that Depp has garnered a lot of support from fans. Fresh evidence supporting his innocence in the case against his ex-wife Amber Heard has surfaced online. Who knows, Depp might still be able to make it to Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
