Original Pirates of the Caribbean Director Breaks Silence on Disney’s Reboot

Director Gore Verbinski recently told Screen Rant that he doesn’t plan to direct any future Pirates of the Caribbean movies. While wishing the franchise well, he explained that he feels he’s already explored what he wanted to with the series after directing three films. He believes a project loses its spark once you’ve mastered it, and with limited time and endless story possibilities, he’s ready to move on. “I feel like I did three and, for me, it was a great opportunity to learn and to try something,” he said. “I think we have to be at a place where the wheels are about to fall off… There’s just so little time, and there are so many stories to tell.”
