Orlando Bloom is revealing if he’d return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, where he played the role of Will Turner.
The 48-year-old actor starred in 2003′s The Curse of the Black Pearl, 2006′s Dead Man’s Chest and 2007′s At World’s End. The franchise continued on without him and Keira Knightley, though they did make a brief end-credits cameo in 2017′s Dead Men Tell No Tales. Johnny Depp starred in all five of the films in the franchise, and there’s talk he could be interested in pursuing a sixth movie as Captain Jack Sparrow.

During a recent appearance at Fan Expo Chicago, Orlando was asked if he’d ever return. “Everything is in the writing, right? Everything is on the page, and I think there’s definitely, I’m sure there’s a way to create something. I would personally love to see everybody back. I think the way to win on that one is to get everybody back. If they can, and if everybody wanted to go back,” he said (via EW).
“My thing is, if the script was great and, ideally it was everybody, it’d be kind of like in for a penny, in for a pound, you know. What they’re thinking…is how to do it. Do you bring in a female leading character that replicates Jack in some way? I don’t know. The jury is out on how to do it again, but if [the script] was great, [I’d be in].”
