Female-Led Pirates of the Caribbean Movie
In June 2020, it was announced that Margot Robbie would star in a new Pirates movie from Disney, written by Christina Hodson. Robbie shares, “We had an idea and we were developing it for a while, ages ago, to have more of a female-led — not totally female-led, but just a different kind of story — which we thought would’ve been really cool.”
Now in reference to Disney’s plans, she adds, “But I guess they don’t want to do it.” In the summer of 2020, Variety reported that the movie was in early development along with a second reboot, with Jerry Bruckheimer at their helm.

Bruckheimer famously produced all five Pirates movies, starring Johnny Depp. In May, Bruckheimer said both films were still in development and confirmed Johnny Depp was not currently involved in any future projects for the franchise.
In reference to the female-led film, he shared, “Yes. We’re talking to Margot Robbie. We are developing two Pirates scripts — one with her, one without.”
