Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer says that one of the series’ original writers is coming back for the next movie. Comicbook.com’s Chris Killian spoke to him for Top Gun: Maverick and they had to address getting back on the seven seas. “I’ve very excited, it’s going to be terrific,” Bruckheimer began. “We’re just working on the screenplay. One of the original writers, Ted Elliot, is helping write it. He has a great command of the characters.” So, with a couple of familiar faces in tow, Disney presses on with another entry in the beloved franchise. It’s been years since the last installment. But, as Maverick proves, audiences will hunker down for a familiar world if the story is told right. A lot of fans are wondering what shape the movie will take without Johnny Depp attached. But, a reinvigoration might be in order after so much time has passed.
