The playful exchange follows months of speculation regarding the future of the Disney franchise. Orlando Bloom, who starred alongside Depp in the original trilogy, recently confirmed at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival that he remains in contact with his former co-star. Bloom expressed curiosity about the production's stalled progress, noting that he frequently wonders about the delay in bringing the ensemble back together.
While producer Jerry Bruckheimer has acknowledged that a sixth installment is in development, the project remains in a state of flux. Reports suggest the studio may pivot toward a new narrative focus, potentially featuring Margot Robbie, with any appearance by Depp relegated to a supporting capacity. Despite ongoing discussions, no formal contracts have been signed, and Disney has yet to announce a production schedule or release date. For now, Depp continues his return to mainstream Hollywood with the film Ebenezer and the upcoming Lionsgate project Day Drinker, marking a cautious path forward following years of high-profile legal battles.
