Amber Heards ex-husband debuted as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. It was a massive hit. So, he returned in Dead Mans Chest, At Worlds End, On Stranger Tides, and Dead Men Tell No Tales.<\/p>\n
According to NME, Bruckheimer was behind all these films. Now, for the sixth installment, a new script is currently being written.<\/p>\n
Johnny plays a vital role in the movie series. He has led all the first five film installments, which earned a combined total of $4.5 billion, Yahoo! Noted. He also earned a Best Actor nomination for The Curse Of The Black Pearl in 2003.<\/p>\n
However, his life turned 360 degrees after Amber Heard accused him of physically and verbally abusing her throughout their relationship. They agreed for a settlement in August 2016 and officially divorced in January 2017, but their legal disputes continue.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Bruckheimer is looking forward to the coming of Pirates of the Caribbean 6. But, there are claims that the next installment will be a reboot and may feature a new lead.<\/p>\n
There are rumors Karen Gillan may take the lead role, replacing Johnny Depp. Anyhow, fans should only take this assumption with a grain of salt as Walt Disney has yet to comment about the issue.<\/p>\n
