So now the Pirates 6 rumor mill is spewing something new with Disney reportedly wanting Austin Butler (Elvis, Dune 2) for the Pirates of the Caribbean Reboot. Take this with a grain of salt. Also Hailee Steinfeld is reportedly being eyed for this as well. My take is Butler could play a Young Captain Jack Sparrow or the son of Captain Jack and if they did either of those I would be content. As long as they don’t completely disregard the character in the franchise. The Steinfeld news I’m not completely upset with if she’s in the franchise. She could be a good female lead replacement for Keira Knightley. I think she would be a better fit for the franchise than Ayo Edebiri who I don’t think is the right fit for the franchise. I’m still hoping for at least one more return from Depp. Recent news of him is that he’s no longer upset at Hollywood and he doesn’t hold any grudges with any studio anymore and he’s open to work on new projects. Let’s hope we can get a proper conclusion to the original Pirates trio and hopefully get new leads worthy of the franchise.
