Margot Robbie, Heart of a Pirate? At the D23 Expo this weekend, Bruckheimer provided further details to Deadline: "We are in discussions with Johnny, we are working on a script and, with a bit of luck, we will be able to make it all happen."
According to other sources close to the project cited by the media outlet, this new film should refocus the plot around the character played by Margot Robbie, who would become the true protagonist, while Johnny Depp would reprise his role as Jack Sparrow in an important but more secondary part, ultimately quite similar to the role he played in the first film.

Suffice it to say, the project seems to have a good chance of heading in this direction. And for Johnny Depp, who had previously stated he would never set foot on the Black Pearl again, the old adage might prove true once more: never say never. It must be said that with nearly $4.5 billion generated at the worldwide box office by the five films in the saga, Disney has some particularly compelling arguments to bring its captain back. Arguments that, even from afar, Johnny Depp must already be hearing.
