Everyone knows a Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is being plotted as we speak, and mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer has already announced that Johnny Depp will return as Captain Jack Sparrow – but what about Depp’s main co-stars Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swan) and Orlando Bloom (Will Turner). Will either of them have a role in the franchise from part four forward?
Moviefone caught up with Knightley while the actress was doing press for her new film The Edge of Love, and it doesn’t seem like the gal is all too interested in donning the damsel in distress gear any time soon. On returning for the sequel, she notes: “It was a completely fantastic experience, and it was an amazingly large portion of my life, but I don't think I need to go there again. I think that it's done. But I'm very excited to see the next one. And [Johnny Depp] is so wonderful in that character. I think it'll be wonderful.”
Earlier this week we told you that British comedian Russell Brand may or may not be up for a role in Pirates 4, and we wonder who else would be a good fit for the franchise. When I spoke to Jerry Bruckheimer on the set of Prince of Persia, he didn’t turn down the idea of making the next Pirates installment in 3D – so that’s just a taste of what might be in store.
Who do you think should star opposite Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean 4?
