Margot Robbie's Pirates Of The Caribbean Is Officially Off The Cards

It’s no secret that Margot Robbie is just about everywhere we turn. From her days as a supporting actress to her time in the limelight as a leading lady, the actress has come a long way in recent years. In that time, Margot has also proven to the world that she can take on any role that comes her way.

Harley Quinn and Barbie couldn’t be more different if they tried, yet Margot has injected a piece of herself into both characters in recent years. What about becoming a pirate? It once looked as though that was set to be the case, as talks of Margot joining Disney hotted up. Sadly, Margot Robbies ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ is officially off the cards.

Pirates of the Caribbean has long been one of Disney’s most popular franchises

Believe it or not, but the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise is so successful that all five films to date have grossed more than $650 million at the box office. The franchise also became the first of any to pass the $1 billion total revenue mark, even though it has since been joined by others. That doesn’t mean that ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ has kept up the steam after all these years. The fifth installment did the worst of all the films, even though it was still a high-grossing production. Of course, this momentum was enough to see Disney want to continue the franchise, even if it meant losing Jack Sparrow. 

Margot Robbie was set to work with Birds of Prey director

Margot Robbie is arguably the biggest actress in the world right now. From her upcoming roles to her memorable performances she’s already given fans, Margot is in hot demand right now. Perhaps it makes perfect sense that she was signed up to appear in the sixth ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movie? That’s not all. One of Margot’s most famous roles to date was as none other than Harley Quinn, a character she brought back to life in ‘Birds of Prey.’ Here, the actress got to work with director Christina Hodson as the pair hoped to inject new life into the almost 20-year-old franchise by creating an all-female leading cast.

Many question if Johnny Depp will return to the franchise

Canceling Margot Robbie’s ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ seems like a bold - and wrong - move to many. Still, the idea of continuing the franchise without Jack Sparrow, brought to life by none other than Johnny Depp, is a huge mistake to many others. Although the Hollywood legend has announced he would never return to work for Disney or reprise his role as Jack, it seems many have learned to never say never. There is no news that Johnny has plans to return to his most famous role. Still, the fact Jack Sparrow went from a side character to the leading man will forever mean people will feel lost without his contribution to the franchise. 

There are plenty of theories about a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie

Amazingly, there have been talks of a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ spin-off for years, ever since the fifth movie hit the big screen. Actress Karen Gillan was once alleged to become the latest star of the franchise, with Ted Elliot and Craig Mazin set to write the script. Another theory is that Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly would be returning to the franchise. Although they have been missing from the last few movies, continuing their story could have led to several more spin-offs as we got to learn all about their new lives as Davy Jones and his wife.

Margot Robbie’s ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ is officially off the cards, meaning the world has no idea what is in store for the franchise. All we do know is it won’t feature one of the biggest actresses in the world right now. That is unless someone fresh comes along to take Margot’s place.
