Pirates of the Caribbean 6 updates have kept the continuation of the Disney franchise alive despite a considerable hiatus since the last entry. How the Pirates of the Caribbean story will continue, and whether Johnny Depp will return remains a mystery though. When Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was released, its enormous success was unexpected. Before 2003, pirate movies were seen as guaranteed box office flops, but the franchise has remained popular ever since, constantly proving its international mass appeal and earning Depp an Oscar nomination for his role as Jack Sparrow.

2017’s Dead Men Tell No Tales, the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, earned close to $800 million worldwide, and Disney announced plans for another pirate adventure in 2018. The studio also announced another installment — a reboot with Margot Robbie in the lead role, which was eventually canceled. However, after several years, the film is still in early development with the Pirates of the Caribbean 6 release date on the distant horizon. Here’s what to expect from the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
