Depp: Knightley and Bloom Won’t Be Back for Pirates 4

At a press event over the weekend for his upcoming Alice in Wonderland, Johnny Depp confirmed that Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom have retired their corset and sword, respectively — neither will be returning for the upcoming sequel, officially titled Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The fourth film in the series, to be directed by Rob Marshall and potentially featuring Penélope Cruz, will present a refreshed take on the story: “We’re coming at it from a different angle at this point, Rob Marshall and [a] totally new take, it’s a new story,” Depp said. New, new, new! Frankly, we’re surprised Taylor Lautner isn’t taking over as Jack Sparrow. [FirstShowing]
