New Pirates of the Caribbean Movie Set to Begin Filming in 2025

The beloved Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is preparing to set sail once again. Disney's hit series, which has entertained audiences through theme park rides, merchandise, and five successful films, is charting a course for a complete reboot - this time without its iconic Captain Jack Sparrow.

Production Details Emerge

According to recent reports, cameras are set to roll on the new Pirates adventure in late 2025. The production will take place in St. Vincent, Victoria, Australia, marking a fresh beginning for the franchise that has grossed over $4.5 billion worldwide since its debut in 2003.

A New Era Without Jack Sparrow

The franchise's future has been uncertain since 2018, following Johnny Depp's departure from the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. After Depp's highly publicized legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard, Disney decided to part ways with the actor. Even after winning his case, Depp has expressed that he has no interest in returning to work with Disney.

Multiple Projects in Development

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has revealed exciting plans for the franchise's future:

A complete reboot with an entirely new cast

A potential separate project starring Margot Robbie

Fresh storylines that will reinvent the Pirates universe
