Orlando Bloom has teased a return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, saying he would love to ‘get the band back together’ on ITV’s This Morning

Orlando Bloom dropped a major hint at a possible comeback of the swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean series.

The actor famed for his role as Will Turner spilled all during an interview on This Morning, sparking speculation of a sixth instalment of the iconic film franchise that first set sail in 2003 with The Curse of the Black Pearl.

With Dead Men Tell No Tales having made its voyage in 2017, chatter about a new chapter has been rife, and Orlando stoked the gossip with a coy: “Who knows?”

He teased further: “I can’t say anything at the moment because I really don’t know. They’re trying to work out what it would all look like.

“I personally think it would be great to get the band back together. But there are always different ideas, so we’ll see where it lands.”

The Lord of the Rings actor’s comments come after producer Jerry Bruckheimer addressed a return of Pirates of the Caribbean.

When asked by ComicBook.com about the future of the franchise and that of Top Gun, he replied: “It’s hard to tell. You don’t know, you really don’t know.”

Elaborating, he noted the uncertainty surrounding movie projects, but assured that rebooting Pirates is less complex since it doesn’t hinge on particular stars’ schedules.

He said: “But we’re gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.”

Despite Orlando’s eagerness to “get the band back together,” he was notably absent from the fourth instalment of Pirates of the Caribbean.

In a 2010 interview about his potential involvement in the fourth film, he stated: “No, definitely not… I think Will is sort of swimming around with the fish at the bottom of the ocean. “”.

“I had a great time making those movies,” he added. “I just really wanted to do different things, but I think it’s going to be great.”

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1.
