With Pirates of the Caribbean 6 reportedly in development, fans are betting real money on which actors could join the cast. According to fan predictions on the betting platform Kalshi, the upcoming installment could potentially bring back several major names from the previous films.
Kalshi’s betting page for the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean 6 lists Orlando Bloom as the actor most likely to make an appearance. As per the site, Bloom has a 29% chance of returning to the franchise as William Turner. Close behind is Keira Knightley, with a 22% chance of reprising her role as Elizabeth Swann.
Other actors from the previous films that fans are putting their money on include Bill Nighy (Davy Jones), Brenton Thwaites (Henry Turner), Geoffrey Rush (Captain Hector Barbossa), Javier Bardem (Captain Armando Salazar), Penélope Cruz (Angelica), Kevin McNally (Joshamee Gibbs), and Kaya Scodelario (Carina Smyth).
Fans are also betting on Margot Robbie, Austin Butler, Ayo Edebiri, and Hailee Steinfeld to join the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
However, readers must note these are merely fan predictions with no official confirmation to back the rumors. Disney has yet to announce the cast for the upcoming movie. While Margot Robbie has been in talks, she has not officially committed to the project yet.
What do we know about Pirates of the Caribbean 6?
Pirates of the Caribbean 6 remains in the early stages of development, according to multiple reports. Most recently, producer Jerry Bruckheimer gave a promising update on the project while speaking with Deadline at Disney’s D23 event.
“We’re talking with Johnny [Depp],” Bruckheimer said, addressing whether the actor will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow. The producer added, “We’re working on a screenplay, and hopefully we can get this done.”
The outlet also cited sources who say that the upcoming installment will not focus on Sparrow. It will likely center on Margot Robbie’s protagonist, with Sparrow appearing as a side character. The next chapter could therefore mark a new direction for the film series.
