Ryan Reynolds, to star in the Pirates of the Caribbean film?

Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the most famous film franchises. However, it has been almost three years since we last saw Captain Jack Sparrow on screen. Initially, the film series took off in 2003 with the movie, The Curse of the Black Pearl. Due to legal problems surrounding Johnny Depp, the actor’s chances of starring in the role remains uncertain.

In 2020 rumors of Ryan Reynolds starring as Captain Jack Sparrow was floating around as per an industry insider Daniel Richtman. Disney was eyeing The Adam Project star to play a role in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 6. However, there is still no confirmation from either of the parties.

The sixth installment of the much-loved Pirates of the Caribbean has been long awaited. The film was previously announced in 2018, but due to the legal problems surrounding Mr. Depp, the franchise is going through turbulent times. Furthermore, Wolf of the Wall Street actress Margot Robbie has also been in consideration for a new Jack Sparrow-esque character.
