In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Margot Robbie officially confirmed the current status of the female-led Pirates of the Caribbean project that she has been attached to for quite a while now. Robbie has revealed that the potential spin-off has been canceled and is no longer moving forward at Disney after the company rejected the initial idea for the project.

“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, but I guess they don’t want to do it,” Robbie revealed.

The project was announced in June of 2020, and updates on it had been sparse. The movie was to have been written by Christina Hodson, who wrote 2020's Robbie-led Birds of Prey, and Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced all five previous Pirates movies, was attached to produce. Despite the cancelation of this Pirates project, Bruckheimer has another one in the works, written by Ted Elliott, who wrote the scripts for the first four Pirates films, and Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin. Its status remains unclear.

Robbie’s project would have been a part of Disney’s growing list of ongoing and upcoming live-action film adaptations of Disney theme parks including the Haunted Mansion reboot set to debut in 2023, the Tower of Terror film led by Scarlett Johansson, the Jungle Cruise sequel featuring the return of Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, and the upcoming Big Thunder Mountain movie. Even in the absence of Disney’s spinoff, Robbie’s dance card remains full. Other upcoming projects for her on the acting front include Warner Bros.’ Barbie, Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City and an as-yet-untitled Ocean’s Eleven film for Warner Bros., which she will also produce.

Based on the venerable Disney theme park ride of the same name, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl was a surprise hit in the summer of 2003, earning over $650 million at the global box office and netting a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for Johnny Depp. It spawned four sequels, which have grossed over three billion dollars in theaters.

Johnny Depp led all past installments as the pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, though Disney parted ways with the actor amid allegations of “sexual violence” and “domestic abuse” against his ex-wife Amber Heard, which she made in a Washington Post op-ed in 2018. 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.
