The Inside Story of the Making of Top Gun: Maverick

The great news, for people of a certain age, is that Top Gun: Maverick is basically the same film as Top Gun from 1986. A rush of big, daft adrenaline. In the o

How about leading women? "Women are harder. It's just not that strong a list yet." Is he working on a Pirates of the Caribbean sequel with a female lead? "Yes. We're talking to Margot Robbie. We are developing two Pirates scripts — one with her, one without." Will Depp be back? "Not at this point," he says. "The future is yet to be decided."

 

[Jennings]

I hope she wields a baseball bat.

 

[Pejo]

I dunno if she has the charisma to pull of a lead role. Birds of Prey didn't really blow anybody's socks off. She's pretty though.

 

[dr_octagon]

Gal Gadot as the wooden plank.
Emily Blunt as Elizabeth Swan.
Henry Cavill as Will Turner.
Michael Fassbender as Barbossa.
Tom Hardy as Davey Jones.
Christian Bale as a treasure chest.
Michael Cera as Jack Sparrow.

I agree. I really like her and I think it would be great in a Pirate of the Caribbean movie, but not as a main lead character.

 

[Batiman]

Just continue with Depp.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Wonder if Disney will allow nudity

 

[Spukc]

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Not interested since Johnny Depp isn't in the movie

 

[Husky]

There is no Pirates of the Caribbean without Captain Jack Sparrow

 

[EviLore]

No Johnny Depp, no sale.

 

[gradient]

Oh great, a gender swapped Jack Sparrow which bears an uncanny resemblance in character to Harley Quinn doing a bad Jack Sparrow impression.

I wonder how many more boxes they'll be aiming to tick.

 

[SJRB]

I swear to god this was already a thing more than a year ago. Am I going crazy?

 

[dr_octagon]

Michael Bolton and Johnny Depp need to be in a pirate movie

 

[AJUMP23]

I would be there if it was Gemma Atterton.

 

[RoadHazard]

Pirates is Jack Sparrow. There is nothing worthwhile about the movies without him.

 

[ManaByte]

I swear to god this was already a thing more than a year ago. Am I going crazy?

Clickbait clout chasers during COVID were spreading bullshit "scoops" that it was Karen Gillen. This is straight from Bruckheimer.

 

[Ragnarok]

Can't wait for a 100lb blonde girl to be shouting orders at pirates for 3 hours.

 

[Rockondevil]

I mean I might watch it someday but it'll definitely be very low on the list without Depp. And we know he isn't coming back.

 

[Husky]

No Johnny Depp, no sail.

I swear to god this was already a thing more than a year ago. Am I going crazy?

It was, and I thought the idea was shuttered in favor of a direct sequel to Dead Men Tell No Tales. Apparently Depp's said he won't work with Disney anymore since he was fired from the sixth film after Amber Heard published a hit piece, so I guess a satisfying sequel's an impossibility. Amber Heard sucks.

 

[octiny]

Even if Disney backtracked & wanted Depp again, he already said in court that he wouldn't do it even if they offered him 300 million. Not surprising after they let him go.

So, maybe 400 million?

Franchise is as good as dead without him.

 

[RoboFu]

Just let it coast on the many movies already made instead of driving it into the ground. Sorry but jack sparrow is POTC.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Bomba without Johnny.

They cancelled him based on a lie.

 

[Braag]

They should just let this franchise die already.

So Disney wanted to work with Depp again but he said fuck off?

Can't say I blame him.

Anyway, they are in for a shocker if they go through with this movie... Shit is going to bomb.

 

[elcapitano]

Disney should publicly apologize not Depp and then invest in a top quality Pirates 6.

Davy Jones was teased so a return to form was potentially on the cards

 

[///PATRIOT]

They don't care, they just want to milk it until those tits are dried and sore.

 

[*Nightwing]

"Pirates of the Caribbean 22: Beating the Dead Seahorse" sounds dreadful.

Ron Burgandy for captain sparrow

Anchorman X Pirates of the Caribbean crossover FTW

 

[octiny]

They cancelled him based on a lie.

Yep. Which is why he's never going to come back, even for 300m.

 

[chromhound]

That won't work...

 

[YukiOnna]

Only casting I want to see is Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. Otherwise, I hope it fails.

 

[sol_bad]

Why does it feel like Bruckheimer's name doesn't mean much anymore in the film industry?

 

[nush]

Anchorman X Pirates of the Caribbean crossover FTW

I'd watch that.

 

[taizuke]

Here's what will happen:

The movie will have Margo but the end credits scene will be the return of Johnny Depp for the sequel and I predict that movie will go on to beat No Way Home numbers if not get close to it.

 

[ManaByte]

Wait for Memorial Day weekend this year.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Pirates without Depp doesn't even make sense.

 

[Zeroing]

You all know that pirates lacked hygiene and had missing teeth right? I do expect them to put a little dirt on her face and that is it.

Pirates without Depp doesn't even make sense.

He died, she was his bastard daughter ( very woke for Disney ), she got a map from him and the plot goes on she tries to get a slave who knows latin and tries to be the first to get to the treasure . Or Hollywood will just pretend the other movies did not exist.

 

[Husky]

So Disney wanted to work with Depp again but he said fuck off?

Can't say I blame him.

Anyway, they are in for a shocker if they go through with this movie... Shit is going to bomb.

I don't think it's that they wanted him back, I think he just said that if they asked for him back after all this blew over, he still wouldn't take the role.

 

[sol_bad]

Pirates without Depp doesn't even make sense.

The last 2 films with Depp made no sense either.

 

[dr_octagon]

No Johnny Depp, no sale.

He needs to start his own film studio with a franchise, 1 million and 1 alpacas.

 

[The Skull]

Tell me your film will bomb at the box office without telling me your film will bomb at the box office.

 

[Star-Lord]

Davy Jones was teased so a return to form was potentially on the cards

We already had two films with Jones as the antagonist.

Let him die (permanently) already.

 

[Alx]

Jack Sparrow made the existing movies, but it may be time for a reboot of the style and have one that goes another direction. There's more than one way to tell pirate stories, and some fresh ideas would be welcome (tbh I got tired of Jack Sparrow after the 2nd movie).

 

[OmegaSupreme]

The last 2 films with Depp made no sense either.

This. The last two Pirates movies were shit. Only the first three were good. Depp isn't the only factor here.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

She already stole Depp's act with her Harley character - that should be the end of that.

Even if Disney backtracked & wanted Depp again, he already said in court that he wouldn't do it even if they offered him 300 million. Not surprising after they let him go.

Don't forget the one million alpacas.

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Just continue with Depp.

Or just stop murdering this IP altogether and move on.
