Pirates Of The Caribbean Series
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Captain Jack Sparrow has a blood debt and owes his soul to Davy Jones, but ever-crafty Jack isn't about to go down without a fight.
Starting with The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003, the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park ride-turned swashbuckling adventure series has grossed over $4.5 billion worldwide over five movies. However, despite its own hefty $795 million global take, 2017's Dead Men Tell No Tales marked a new low point for the franchise, both at the U.S. Box office and in terms of critical reception. At the same time, the sequel kept things moving forward by setting up a sixth Pirates film that would focus largely on the new additions from Dead Men Tell No Tales; namely, Brenton Thwaites as Henry Turner (the son of Black Pearl's leads Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann) and, who the fifth Pirates film revealed is really Captain Barbossa's daughter. In addition to revealing the truth about Carina's father and reuniting Will with Elizabeth, Dead Men Tells No Tales ends with a post-credits scenes that hints at the return of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and At World's End villain Davy Jones.

Bill Nighy, who plays the infamous pirate with the tentacle beard, has said, but also admitted he didn't even know about Dead Men's credits teaser until a fan mentioned it to him. As such, there may not be a firm plan in place to bring Jones back, much less one for where to take the larger franchise from here. There's also the Johnny Depp-sized elephant in the room that needs addressing. Depp's Jack Sparrow character was a big part of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise's initial success, but the actor is arguably more of a liability than an asset, at this point in time. In addition to the domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife Amber Heard, the number of reports about Depp's erratic behavior on his films' sets has been growing in recent years.
