And with the highly public and controversial private life of its lead actor, it remains unclear as to which direction the franchise will take next with the sixth film. However, Robbie recently confirmed that the idea has been put to bed. There have been rumors over the past few years of the franchise receiving a reboot, with Margot Robbie set to lead an all-female cast, written by Christina Hodson. And as it was inspired by a theme park attraction, so has it inspired theme park attractions, with Jack Sparrow being added to the classic attraction and a brand new, state-of-the-art ride based on the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure, developed for Shanghai Disneyland (it debuted with the rest of the park in 2016). Even the last film, 2017’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which was already mired in Depp’s controversial private life, grossed $800 million worldwide. And yet somehow, Pirates of the Caribbean has become one of Hollywood's most dependably bankable franchises.
