Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is still currently in development, with Margot Robbie in talks to join. The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which is adapted from the Disney theme park ride of the same name began in 2003 with the film The Curse of the Black Pearl, which introduced Johnny Depp as the indolent but charming Captain Jack Sparrow. Although the cast around him changed, including huge stars like Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, and Penélope Cruz, Depp has reprised the role in every Pirates film in the original trilogy, which ran through 2007, and the later follow-ups, 2011's On Stranger Tides and 2017's Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Although there have been rumblings of a new movie in the franchise for some time, nothing has come to fruition in five long years. There have been multiple projects in development during that time, including a reboot from Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin. Another project that was developed concurrently with that script is a wholly separate film announced in June 2020 featuring The Suicide Squad star Margot Robbie, reuniting her with Birds of Prey or the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn scribe Christina Hodson.
