Female Pirates of the Caribbean Cancelled According to Margot Robbie

[@philingrouille7198]

Johnny Depp gave a face to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, you can't carry it on without him. If they wanna make a female centric movie about pirates, they could always make a movie about Anne Bonny. Cast Margot Robbie as Anne Bonny; give a pirate movie a fresh take, cast Robbie as an actual real life pirate who isn't just a genderbent Jack Sparrow. I'd be up for that.

[@MILVO17]

Or Miss Fortune.

[@mickeymickey9914]

They already did a female Pirates movie in 2005. It was called Pirates XXX and it starred Jesse Jane.

I’ve met her a few occasions before she was big. The guy she’s now married to was friends with some of my closest friends and tbh I didn’t even know who she was when I met her. She’s a genuinely good person, funny (kind of goofy) and seemed very grounded. Regardless I’m relieved as hell that train wreck got stopped before anything happened. An utterly awful idea.

[@OptimalToast]

Not sure if it was an act or not, but here in Australia before the move to the U.S., she came across as just your average girl next door type of person, with a touch of goofiness as you mentioned, but I don't doubt the power of Hollywood to corrupt.

The only female lead movie I want to see right now is Classic Lara Croft TR movie. Because that would be so good. Yes, Johnny Debb is the best part of Pirates of the Caribbean. A lot of the female versions of the male characters don't go through the same struggles (or any at times) like we see the male charaters have to go through to earn their spot as a beloved hero.

There was an original pirate movie with a female lead back in 1995: Geena Davis in Renny Harlin’s Cutthroat Island. It seriously bombed at the box office, but I’ve always thought it was a lot of fun. P.s. A nice antidote for these emasculated modern movies is to watch a John Wick movie! And funny thing. Each of the three includes in a key role a kickass female fighter. Two of them get to fight John himself!

for some reason writers things it is the writing itself that makes the character but in actuality its the actor. that what makes certain actor greater than others. jonny depps character became his because he made his own version of jack sparrow despite what that writings said. but for some reason writers and creators today believes anyone can farm a character and any gender. if that was the case than hiring actors in the first place woudnt be needed.

[@kjt7971]

Realistically, they can take a lot from history! I remember reading about a female pirate in either China or Korea who wreaked havoc on her nation's enemies. Better yet, there was a female pirate in history in the Caribbean who had struck fear in a lot of people's hearts. Then, if you would like to make a story about a brutal medieval female ruler, look no further than Olga of Kiev! Not only destroy an entire house, Tywin Lannister Style, she also went on to convert to Christianity and even though she was brutal and murderous, declared a saint by the Catholic Church. There are plenty of historic examples of females kicking ass! Another idea, if you just want a black example: Amanitore of Kush. The problem with the woke is that they are bleeding lazy!

If you want to see how to make an action movie with a woman integrated into a franchise where she doesn't insult the main action hero but comes off as super cool partner and likeable character, then watch "Supercop" 1992 with Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh. Watch it in Chinese with subtitles, not English dubbed because that would be silly. You can see how they don't make the female just do the same thing as the male but better. She does things differently. That is the reality of the male/ female dynamic.

[@Robert-ht7om]

*I think if this had gone through it would probably be heavily compared to the porn Pirates movie that came out in the early 2000s. *Also there's Cutthroat Island with Geena Davis as the lead and a pirate, the movie didn't do good at the box office but I always enjoyed it so I think a female pirate movie could work just not in this current era of movie making. *In the comics the female superheroes were not meant to be replacements(not the case with recent years and characters like lady Thor and riri) they were companions, partners, and friends of the male heroes just someone else to join in on the fight, but in the MCU they are differently replacing male characters with females or dumbing down the men and showing the women as superior, the character Black Panther didn't have to die because the actor portraying him did, but Disney saw it as an opportunity to replace a male character and they took it, yes it happened in comics, but that was short lived and most likely that version of the character was more developed than the live action version which never had that much screen time and was really just a side character who was thrust into the main role.

That said - there's also a practical reason that might be worth considering: The franchise has a lot of supernatural elements that follow some vague supernatural rules. A new franchise would have to establish new rules for these supernatural elements. If they wanted to make a movie with no supernatural elements but an old-fashioned swashbuckling movie then yeah, attaching it to the Pirates of the Carribean doesn't make sense.

Even though he said he’s never work with Disney again, and who could blame him; Disney needs to do their best to get Johnny Depp back for one more movie. They need to deliver on the way that they ended the last one. Bring Jack, Will, & Elizabeth back together one last time and finish the story off like it should be done. Maybe find a way to bring back Barbosa. The new characters would be good fits to move forward after they end the main storyline, and you could still have the main characters in later movies making appearances; much like Stallone has been able to do with Rocky.
