A few weeks ago, Johnny Depp spoke about his desire to go beyond the space of the pirated franchise. He still did not give consent to the shooting in the continuation as well as director Rob Marshall. Perhaps such a decision of the director and the leading actor is connected with the participation of both in the remake of the tape "Slim Man / Thin Man". In any case, it goes against the disney studio plans. Franchise brings a huge amount of money, no one wants to stop her, but at the same time creators feel that they need any creative splash.
The company offered Marshall to take the director's chair back in January, but also without waiting for an affirmative answer, began to consider other candidates. The "dream director" for the studio was Tim Burton, but the likelihood of his participation in the project is extremely small. The alternatives included such directories like Sean Levi, Chris Weitz, Sam Raymi, Alfonso Quaraon. What will be the final decision of the studio, is unknown. Perhaps Johnny Depp decide to say goodbye to the project that it will be no doubt to mean the end of the pirated franchise and will make any further discussion of the waste of time. It all depends on it.
