Female-led ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ spinoff not fairly useless but in a hammer blow to Johnny Depp stans and sexists

It’s been nearly half a decade since Johnny Depp was dumped from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and the swashbuckling saga hasn’t even gotten near setting sail for its first installment with out Captain Jack Sparrow.

The actor’s followers are thrilled that the multi-billion greenback property stays mired in growth hell, and so they have been even happier when the female-driven spinoff being developed by Birds of Prey duo Margot Robbie and Christina Hodson didn’t get the inexperienced mild to enter pre-production.

Trying to proceed any property with out its most recognizable character and largest promoting level is a tricky activity, however the champagne could should be positioned again on ice after producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed to Collider {that a} story fronted by ladies isn’t fairly out of the query for good.

“I think that that script will come forward at a certain point. We developed two different stories for Pirates and the other one’s going forward first, so that’s what we’re working on, to try to get that one made.”

It could not include Robbie and Hodson on the helm, however it sounds as if Disney hasn’t fairly deserted ship in the case of growing a female-led Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Audiences have been starting to lose curiosity anyway given the cratering vital and industrial returns that greeted Dead Men Tell no Tales, so would anyone actually be all that devastated have been the saga to go off into the horizon for good?

There’s clearly a extreme lack of enthusiasm for a Depp-less Pirates, so perhaps all the enterprise ought to simply stroll the plank.
