Yes there is going to be another Pirates of the Caribbean film – Disney are not stupid you know!

After Gore Verbinski jumped ship to “do other things”, the ship’s captain was looking uncertain but Variety has claimed that it’ll be Rob Marshall taking the helm. Marshall is known for Chicago and the less successful adaptation of Memoirs Of A Geisha. Not quite in the same genre as a Pirates film but we have faith.

The next big question is who will return to acting in the film, Disney obviously want to keep Depp on board and get on with the project as soon as possible before he moves on to The Lone Ranger project. But watch this space.
