Sam Claflin about a possible return of the Pirates of the Caribbean 6:

Now, another Pirates actor, Sam Claflin, has expressed interest in returning

Pirates of the Caribbean fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Pirates of the Caribbean 6, and now, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides actor Philip Sam Claflin has shared exclusively with ComicBook that he is interested in a potential return to the franchise. The latest Pirates of the Caribbean film, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, was released in theaters in 2017, and almost a decade later, there was very little movement left. Apparently an obstacle was whether actor Captain Jack Sparrow (and the franchise's undisputed star) Johnny Depp would return, as he was identified as a dealbreaker to the public. However, Pirates fans have never lost hope, and recent comments from Depp have suggested that he is more open to returning as Jack Sparrow than many believed.

Now, another Pirates actor, Sam Claflin, has expressed interest in returning, also specifically naming Depp as one of the reasons he would like to return. Look at his comments from his recent conversation with the ComicBook below. Audiences could see Philip in Pirates of the Caribbean Once Again Image Courtesy of Disney Speaking exclusively to ComicBook about his potential interest in appearing in Pirates of the Caribbean 6, Claflin said, 100%. I think it was my first movie, and I think I've learned a lot in the industry since then. I've been a rabbit in the headlights through that experience, so as long as I've had a lot of fun, I think we could have a lot more fun with it, and obviously, as you've pointed out, there are so many ways you can go with that character.

Whether it's now some kind of submarine merman creature or whether he himself

Whether it's now some kind of submarine merman creature or whether he himself became, after he had his heart broken, someone who is also a pirate, I don't know. These are the movies that I grew up watching, so being a part of them, even a small part, was a privilege and a joy, and I can only hope they do another one. Whether I am or not, as a fan, I'll be in on it. I'd love to go with Johnny back on this front. Clearly, Claflin is excited about the idea, and he makes some big points.

After all, after On Stranger Tides, Claflin played Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (and then The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2), which means that, along with many other roles from that time, he has considerably more experience, including in major franchises. So it would be exciting to see Claflin return to the Pirate World of the Caribbean and see what he can do now. The question remains, will Pirates of the Caribbean 6 really happen? Right now, that's uncertain. However, fortunately it seems more and more likely. What do you hope to see from Pirates of the Caribbean 6 if it happens, in terms of returning actors, the story and more? Tell us in the comments below.
