Orlando Bloom Considers Return as Will in New Pirates Movie!

Orlando, USA - As the buzz around Hollywood continues to swirl, one franchise remains firmly anchored in the hearts of many: the „Pirates of the Caribbean.“ Nearly ten years have passed since the last cinematic swashbuckler graced our screens, yet the allure of Captain Jack Sparrow and his band of misfits seems as strong as ever. Orlando Bloom recently took to promoting a new film for 2025 while reminiscing about his role as Will Turner in the iconic series.

Back in the early 2000s, when Bloom first donned the role, he was taken aback by the very notion of participating in a film based on a Disney theme park ride. He candidly described his initial thoughts as „crazy.“ His reluctance was transformed into enthusiasm thanks to actor Geoffrey Rush, who encouraged him during the filming of “Ned Kelly.” This pivotal moment ultimately paved the way for Bloom to become a beloved figure within the franchise, starring in four out of five installments.

An Invincible Franchise

The „Pirates of the Caribbean“ franchise has not only endured but flourished since its inception. The first film, *Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl*, premiered in 2003. Directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, this fantasy adventure film introduced audiences to a captivating story filled with treachery and heroism. It follows Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, alongside Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann in their quest to rescue her from the cursed pirate ship, the Black Pearl. This film, alongside its sequels, has solidified itself as a crucial component of Disney’s cinematic offerings.

Bloom’s journey as Will Turner brought him into a world filled with fantastical adventures and cutthroat pirates, making the role one of his favorites. Fans are fondly reminded of the series‘ first success, which broke ground in a genre that was rather sparse at the time. Given that there were few successful counterparts preceding it, the franchise paved the way for further explorations in pirate storytelling.

Talk of the Future

Although Bloom has expressed a desire to reunite with his co-stars, uncertainty clouds the franchise’s future. There have been numerous rumors surrounding the series, including potential reboots and continuations featuring Depp’s Jack Sparrow. Interestingly, it has been confirmed that two scripts for a new chapter in the Pirates saga are in the works. One script includes Jack Sparrow, while the other does not, creating a curious backdrop for fans eager for more pirate tales.

It has also come to light that discussions are ongoing between Depp and Disney regarding his possible return to the franchise. Enthusiasts of the series are at the edge of their seats, hoping for a reunion that could revive the chemistry and charm that made the original films so irresistible.

As Bloom juggles multiple projects, including the release of his latest film, *Dziļa vāks*, scheduled for June 12, the anticipation grows. Disney has reignited interest in the franchise, and as fans reflect on their love for the characters, there’s no denying the magic of this legendary series continues to resonate. Will we see our favorite pirates back on the big screen? Only time will tell, but for now, the sea of speculation remains as tumultuous as ever.
