Despite a long break since the last game, Pirates of the Caribbean 6 patches have managed to keep the Disney series going. It’s unclear, though, how the Pirates of Caribbean narrative will proceed and whether Johnny Depp will make a comeback. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was an unexpected huge hit upon release. Prior to 2003, pirate films were thought to be surefire box office bombs. However, the franchise has endured ever since, consistently demonstrating its universal appeal on a global scale and garnering Depp an Oscar nod for his portrayal of Jack Sparrow.

2017’s Dead Men Tell No Tales, the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, earned close to $800 million worldwide, and Disney announced plans for another pirate adventure in 2018. The studio also announced another installment — a reboot with Margot Robbie in the lead role, which was eventually canceled. However, after several years, the film is still in early development with the Pirates of the Caribbean 6 release date on the distant horizon. Here’s what to expect from the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
