Avast m’readers, there is major blockbuster news on the horizon! Aye, Disney is moving ahead with a Pirates of the Caribbean reboot, and Margot Robbie has signed on to lead an all-new seafaring adventure for the franchise. Further she is also reteaming with screenwriter Christina Hodson on the project after Hodson wrote Robbie’s Harley Quinn spinoff movie, Birds of Prey.
The news, which was announced via THR Friday afternoon, reveals that the film is not intended to be spinoff of the previous Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which lasted for five movies over 14 years, but rather a “wholly original story with new characters under the Pirate moniker, itself inspired by the long-running attraction at Disneyland.” Additionally, this is an entirely different project than the previously announced reboot that was at least initially being developed by original Pirates of the Caribbean co-writer Ted Elliott and Chernobyl co-creator Craig Mazin.
