Disney’s Margot Robbie-led Pirates of the Caribbean spinoff has been killed by the studio, per the Oscar-nominated actress.
While Disney couldn’t be reached for comment, Robbie made her remarks in an interview with Vanity Fair published on Monday.
“We had an idea and we were developing it for a while, ages ago, to have more of a female-led—not totally female-led, but just a different kind of story—which we thought would’ve been really cool,” Robbie said, “but I guess they don’t want to do it.”

It would have followed titles including The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man’s Chest, At World’s End, On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales which together grossed more than $4.5B worldwide between 2003 and 2017, coming in as one of history’s highest-grossing film series.

While Depp earlier this year sued the Aquaman actress for defamation in Virginia and won his case, he affirmed during the trial that “nothing on earth” could convince him to return to the franchise he’d once loved, given bad blood with the studio.
Robbie’s comment on the axing of her Pirates project came amid her press tour for the old Hollywood epic Babylon, which has her starring alongside Brad Pitt, Diego Calva and many more. The latest film written and directed by Oscar winner Damien Chazelle (La La Land, First Man) is
