I guess the Mouse really is clearing its decks.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Oscar nominee Margot Robbie officially confirmed the current status of the female-led Pirates of the Caribbean project that she has been attached to for quite a while now. Robbie has revealed that the potential spin-off has been canceled and is no longer moving forward at Disney after the company rejected the initial idea for the project.
The exact reason for the cancellation hasn’t been mentioned. Personally, I’m going to be boring and assume that Disney doesn’t really care why it’s not cost-effective anymore to do this film. It just cares that it isn’t – and, in this economy, the phrase ‘not cost-effective’ has teeth. I suspect it’s gonna be a grim couple of years for content creators…
Maybe they’ve finally decided the ” but it’s live action|gender switched|race switched” strategy is tapped out?
It could happen…
