Producer Jerry Bruckheimer gave the folks at Coming Soon an official update and said that, as far as the the studio is concerned, 'Pirates' remains the priority.
"It's a great franchise for them and for us, too. We love the character and Johnny was really excited about coming back to Captain Jack. He certainly is interested in Tonto, but Disney's priority is to get 'Pirates' made first. You never know what's going to happen, but they would like it"
He also confirmed that scribes Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott are doing the P4 script which sounds more comedic than the last two films in the series and is a "whole new way of going."
What about Gore Verbinski, returning to the director's chair since Bioshock has been delayed?
"He created the franchise so we'd love to have him back, but it's kind of up to him."
Makes sense to push Pirates sequel past Ranger since Depp would be playing his most beloved character there--versus sidekick to Ranger.
