Orlando Bloom<\/a> is ready to return to the high seas, but he doesn’t want to do it without the original Pirates of the Caribbean crew.<\/p>\n

Nine years after the franchise’s most recent movie, Bloom was asked what is holding up another installment while attending the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival.<\/p>\n

“I ask that all the time,” the 49-year-old actor told Entertainment Weekly<\/a> on September 13.<\/p>\n

Bloom, who played blacksmith-turned-pirate Will Turner, also revealed that he remains in contact with Johnny Depp.<\/p>\n

“I do connect with him every now and again, because he’s amazing,” Bloom said.<\/p>\n

Depp starred as Captain Jack Sparrow in all five Pirates movies, beginning with 2003’s The Curse of the Black Pearl. Bloom and Keira Knightley<\/a>, who played Elizabeth Swann, anchored the original film alongside him.<\/p>\n

But Bloom doesn’t appear interested in returning for a reunion involving only one or two familiar faces. He praised the ensemble\u2014which also included Geoffrey Rush and Kevin McNally\u2014as “a really good group of people.”<\/p>\n

Bloom has previously said that another movie would work only if “everybody” returned<\/a>, per the outlet. This time, he pointed to audiences’ enduring affection for familiar characters and stories as one reason the franchise could still have life in it.<\/p>\n

The actor admitted, however, that he hasn’t received any concrete information about when\u2014or how\u2014another film might happen.<\/p>\n

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has also expressed interest in having Depp return, but Disney has not officially confirmed Bloom, Depp, Knightley or the rest of the original cast for a sixth movie.<\/p>\n
