‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise set for a reboot

If you loved watching Pirates of the Caribbean films, here's an update for you. The franchise is getting a reboot.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced each of the five Pirates movies that starred Johnny Depp as his iconic pirate character Captain Jack Sparrow, in a recent interview with ComicBook.com said the next installment of Pirates of the Caribbean will be a reboot instead of being a straight sequel, People reported.


"It's hard to tell. You don't know, you really don't know," Bruckheimer said when asked when audiences can expect a new Pirates movie or another Top Gun movie; he also produces the Tom Cruise action films. "You don't know how they come together. You just don't know."

"With Top Gun, you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does Top Gun, I can't tell you,” the producer added, referencing Cruise, 61.

"But we're gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don't have to wait for certain actors," he added.

The Pirates franchise famously starred Depp, 60, as well as Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley in its first three entries, beginning with 2003's smash hit The Curse of the Black Pearl.

With this update of Pirates of the Caribbean returning, fans wonder if Johnny Depp will return to the franchise as his relationship with Disney soured after his involvement in a defamation trial with his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

Event company’s message fuels fresh speculation

The postponement of cricketer Smriti Mandhana and singer-composer Palash Muchhal’s wedding has drawn renewed attention after the event management company overseeing the celebrations posted a cryptic message online.
Krayonz Entertainment, responsible for the high-profile ceremony, shared an Instagram note last week, shortly after festivities came to an abrupt stop. The post reads: “We don’t cross the finish line in every match of life that we play, but it’s always the sportsman spirit that counts. Our team played hard, with joy and pride, and they all certainly deserve a mention. Will see you soon champion.”
The message has gone viral, prompting mixed reactions, some praising its supportive tone, others interpreting it as a hint about the couple’s plans.

Wedding halted amid health emergencies

Mandhana and Muchhal were due to marry on 23 November, with pre-wedding functions already under way. The Mehendi and Haldi ceremonies had taken place and circulated widely on social media. However, celebrations stopped when Mandhana’s father fell critically ill on the wedding day and was admitted to hospital. The following day, Muchhal was also hospitalised in Sangli, Mandhana’s hometown, before being shifted to Mumbai.
A representative for the cricketer confirmed that the wedding had been postponed due to medical concerns affecting both families.
