The franchise, propelled by Depp’s iconic portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, has been a massive box-office success, grossing over $4.5 billion worldwide. Despite mixed critical reviews for some instalments, the charismatic characters, thrilling adventures, and Depp’s performance contributed to the series’ popularity and financial triumph.“Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is expected to arrive in mid or late 2025.”

The publication continued to note, “Good news arrived for fans as the creators officially confirmed that Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is in development. Pirates of the Caribbean has garnered commendable ratings, boasting a solid 8.1/10 on IMDb and an impressive 86% average audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

It seems that, according to Coming Soon, the film will debut in the theaters first before making its way to Disney+. While Disney has not confirmed this information, and the name of the publication’s source was not divulged, the plan for release does make sense, as the franchise historically does well in theaters, bringing in big box office numbers, which is something Disney desperately needs, especially after The Marvels flop and Wish barely breaking even.

Disney has certainly lost dominance at the box office, and going back to what they know works could be a good strategy for the Mouse House. That being said, without Depp, the franchise may be a sinking ship.

A fake film noted, Pirates of the Caribbean: Demons of the Corsair has gone viral thanks to a false poster taking over the internet; read more on that here.

Coming Soon did not include whether or not Depp would be involved in this reported sixth instalment.
