The folks at Disney are super secretive about whether there actually is a new movie or movies coming out, who will be in them and what the plots will be.
Speculation is that one might be a prequel with a young teenaged Jack Sparrow.
The other speculation is that there might not be a Jack Sparrow at all and it would be a resurrection of Davey Jones..........
True. Maybe it’s a teaser to test the public response. There was talk of a “reboot” with a female lead. But Depp did show up at Disneyland about a year ago in full costume and character and greeted visitors etc for several hours. At the end of the day it’s a billion dollar franchise and he’s worth many tens of millions in that role. Its business. It’s time Disney gets the plot - people want to be entertained. Any “messaging” should be subtext not overt in your face.
thank you for your patience, I appreciate it. my hunch (not that anyone asked for it) is that they’re floating trial balloons in order to decide what to do.
