Renowned producer Jerry Bruckheimer has provided a status update on the long-anticipated Pirates of the Caribbean reboot, which has faced significant delays in reaching the production phase. It appears the project hit a standstill as Bruckheimer prioritized another blockbuster venture: the high-flying sequel to Top Gun: Maverick starring Tom Cruise.
Bruckheimer clarified that his primary focus is currently on the third Top Gun installment, as the screenplay is already finalized. While Pirates of the Caribbean 6 has been momentarily sidelined, the producer noted that this pause is only temporary and the project’s standing could shift back to the forefront at any time.
Narrative specifics for the next Pirates outing remain largely under wraps. However, industry rumors suggest the storyline may revolve around the offspring of Captain Jack Sparrow. Production is unlikely to commence before 2028, setting the stage for a potential theatrical release in the 2029–2030 window.
