What's your favorite Lonely Island song? Well, I can't even write out the song options in case kids are reading. If you're a lazy parent who is using my articles to entertain your child, you should put on Cocomelon instead. Now back to the good part. If you haven't heard Michael Bolton sing 'Jack Sparrow,' I implore you to go listen to it now.

Mega-Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed with Entertainment Weekly that Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow is in the script for the sixth "Pirates Of The Caribbean" film. The film's villain is to be played by Amber Heard. I'm joking, just joking y'all.

“If he likes the way the part’s written, I think he would do it,” Bruckheimer told EW. “It’s all about what’s on the page, as we all know… We are still working on a screenplay. We want to make it. We just got to get the right screenplay. We haven’t quite gotten there yet, but we’re close.”

Variety in 2020 reported that Disney had two scripts written, one for a female-led spinoff starring Margot Robbie and the sixth in the original franchise written by Craig Mazin and Ted Elliott. Mazin is surprised he sold what he said was a weird script: “We pitched it and thought there’s no way they’re buying it, it’s too weird. And they did! And then we wrote a fantastic script and the strike happened and everyone’s waiting around.”

“It’s two different movies,” Bruckheimer said about the future. “We hope to get ’em both made, and I think Disney agrees they really want to make the Margot one, too.”
