Robbie, the star of “Suicide Squad” and “I, Tonya,” is to head a female-driven “Pirates” movie which is in the early stages of development, a source with knowledge of the project said on Friday. No plot details were available but the story is being written by Britain’s “Birds of Prey” screenwriter Christina Hodson and produced by longtime “Pirates” filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer, the source said.

Just what we need a Blonde Bimbo in a Pirate's Movie, although if she had to walk the plank in the 1st 5 seconds an they have sharks waiting below and in she goes,Jack Sparrow lands overs well at least the lads got fed,No Rum for Bob the shark tonight,he just had Red Wine.

I’m not watching

Pilates in the Carrabien

All corporations are Psychopathic and can only fake human emotion and try to imitate them Their inability to understand indifference is always costing them $

Certain to be the most popular all female remake since Ghostbusters...

And another one bites the dust. Bombs away.

Lame!

Screw talent, from now on we just start making films with casts of black, disabled transgender women. This way we have covered all and there'd be no need of more remakes.

No thanks

More Crap!

Do not invest in this movie. Woke all-female casting always tank in the box office.

It will wind up on the trash heap with the rest of the all-girl remakes.

NO! Bring back Johnny Depp or cancel it all!

Hopefully the studio is reading our comments (they will save millions) 🤔

Thanks for the heads up, I can now give it a miss

Well that will be a failure. Hope she’s prepared to have a failure on her resume. Oh wait Birds of Prey.

Just when that series is starting to take off.

Yeah this is going to work. Like it worked for Ghostbusters and oceans 11 or whatever the heck that movie was called.🙄

No Johnny Depp, no go...

BarsonSamuel ‘‘twas only matter of time

Next Disney is going to make a movie 'Snow White and the 7 Foot Dwarves' Where instead of dwarves they have 7-foot basketball players playing the parts. You know for some strange reason WTF is wrong with you Hollywood? Can't think of original plots anymore?

No thanks

Pls god no

Ok cool cool Is Hollywood totally out of ideas?

Those box office figures will wow 'em

It will be a massive failure

🚮

And in 5 years, people will forget it was ever made.

Did they mean...'Bird of Prey' but in the Sea?.1. Disney sould know at this point women leader movie didn't work to make money...only 1 or 2 the rest 🖓..i am not a misoginist...just notice a fact.. 2.Johnny Deep is TPofC.. 3. There is 'CutThroat Island' movie.

Yah......no Disney is now Woke trash

But the pirate queen was Irish, not whatever she was, she cant play an Irish person she is not Irish? She can only play kangaroos in films from now on, anything else is cultural erase of a people.

Another movie to bomb at the theaters. IF they open again to play shitty movies like this.

Some of the most notorious pirate where female. For example Cheng I Sao had hundreds of ships and some 50,000 men.

bad idea.

Tom Cruise to star in male-centric 'Little Women'

The Birds of Prey flick did great right?

Jack Sparrow. Women pirates?

Good luck filming with 😷on!

pass

Why?

First of all ewwww for casting her,shes so ugly, second, it will gonna flop like rest of female lead movies!

Female centric pirate movie...got it👎🏻

They really don’t have a clue. 🙄

MargotRobbie .....🤩

So that's it, then? They've finally exhausted every single original idea for a movie. While 'Piratesses of the Caribbean' will most likely be beyond woeful, I can't wait until Hollywood Inc. gets around to 'The Godmother', 'Olive Twist' & 'The Quiet Woman'. Exciting times ahead!

And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Jacqueline Sparrow

Maybe they’ll all be topless. Then it would be cool.

No ... just NO! It doesn't work CutthroatIsland Ghostbusters remake. Why are they even doing this? No original ideas...just lazy

That's the end of that franchise then.

lol they’re gonna do that thing again where they use a press conference to preempt disaster, stating that if the movie bombs then sexism is alive & well in America

It seems to me this is one of those problems that solves itself.

Go woke go broke by by franchise

Hahaha

Hot

wow

Nobody cares

this has success written allllll over it.. just like the gender change exercise they did with that classic 80s movie Ghost buster .. they bought that bang up to date didn’t they for gen Z all inclusivity and alll loved it..said no oneeeee!requested by no one!

Is Kathleen Kennedy behind this too? What an incompetent woman.

Another disaster

And what the f**k would be the point of that?

This is what happens when Market Research and Accounting departments are BOTH out sick.

Well this will absolutely flop at the box office And rightfully so 👍

I’m pretty sure they already made one it‘s called “Pirates” (2005)

👀👩‍🎤⚓️⛵️🏝female- centric pirates. It will be interesting to see them drink ale from a dirty cup, not shower for days, pillage villages, fight British and Spanish navy etc.

Stop this madness

I doubt anyone would watch another Pirates of the Caribbean movie regardless of the crew's gender.

2020 stop,please🤦🏻‍♂️

Not interested, thanks.

🤮

Awesome. Now do the one with Black people. It saves a ton of time and money on writers.

Or........just make a new franchise/movie?

Why

Franchise went down hill after the first movie.

RIP box office numbers

after the last film I'm ok with seeing how this turns out

And cue the snowflakes who cant bear to watch a pirates of the Caribbean movie with a female protagonist. Variety is a good thing. Even if it is another crappy pirate flick.

TurkeyIsBombingKurds

Can't we have films that don't glorify criminality?

Gonna be as big of a hit as the all female Ghostbusters

Kthanxbai

Oh, dear 😖😖😖

Good luck with that.

It'll bomb and they'll blame sexism.

Oh, come on! Pirates of the Caribbean? Do Ann Bonnie's life story. It would be so much better.

But is MargotRobbie even a pirate? I find it offensive, that this actress is taking up a role from a real pirate, when she doesn't even understand or has experienced, what it is like to be a pirate at sea. Pirate Lives Matter!

Stupid

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Oh that should work well - forget that Pirates has just about exhausted all reasonable story lines, but let's put a female in the lead role, with a majority female cast and you should have a blockbuster... I would take a knee on this one...

There just aren't enough bad a$$ heroine movies😕

The will be the pirates franchise ruined thank you feminists

Ghostbusters failed mosty coz of the writing & directing, not necessarily the gender swap thing. Didn't see Oceans Eleven. An excellent example of a gender swap fail is actually the new Charlie's Angels. Elizabeth Banks went full girl power on that one and made it super cringy.

another fail

Pilates of the Caribbean

Margot Robbie U r better than this

Why? There were never any roving bands of women raping and pillaging their way through the Caribbean, nor were there female soldiers hunting them down. smh

When ppl don't know what they want and the studios try to bend to these folks.

Sorry, only men can be pirates, that's the way society has gone.

So, they couldn't come up with something original? Have all the real creatives in Hollywood left?

Well, It worked for ghost bust- Wait.

So brave

You think thats bad check out the chior that sings i believe with the suits and red ties. The african queen presides over the lord asends into hell. Very noisy.

Have been crying the whole day for food having lost my job. Now I can't feed my family after being locked down in my current city. I will appreciate your help through my PayPal ochiengeva123gmail.com

It's already been done

I’m done with Hollywood...what a colossal waste of time!

No thanks

And it’ll flop just like every other attempt at a woke movie.

Oh brother. Come on now.

Margot Robbie to star in a movie no one wanted and fewer will watch. Did they learn nothing from Lady Ghostbusters? This isn’t woke feminism, it’s just annoying, and I say that as a woman.

Wont be watching

I would say the the studio is asking alot trying to get more from the pirate series. Highly overrated storylines. I am fine with a female centric action flick. I just think this will need hella good writing to get past the burn out.

Will she be wearing hot pants?

Please no

Oooohhh. Can't wait! ✌🐸

Saw her picture! Then read the headline!

No. Nobody wants or needs more Pirates of the Caribbean. Just stop.

Hollywood is brainless. Why not all little people? All disabled people? All trans people? All blacks or Asians?

Another woke flop and box office failure coming right up!

Disney needs to donate that money to charity. No one is going to see Pirates without Johnny Depp. He makes the whole movie.

Let me guess she will play Jack Sparrow character after he changed gender

She got too old. No one cares about her now.

Well as Disney is cutting off Pluto’s balls, taking Elmers gun and who knows maybe even acme co’s 🧨 license, they keep pandering and bowing to moronic noise of fragile disturbed people. I hear even park rides are going to get some chops. Just disgusting spineless nonsense!

Ghostbusters was a smash. 🙄

Hasn't the world suffered enough......?

I thought they already did?

And make a Hispanic Gandalf from LOTR while you're at it

Marrrrgot Robbie.

Lord 🙄

😊👍

It will be a box office bomb. I guarantee it!

It will definitely work this time.

Oh God No! They still haven't figured out why BirdsOfPrey was such a bomb. Audiences, whether male or female, do not want their favorite movies to be feminized to create a false narrative of bad ass super heroines to please liberals and progressives. MargotRobbie

And we will not watch it. Remember the Ocean and the Ghostbusters movie that they did this? So no thanks.

Hope it’s better than female ghostbusters.

Female-centric casts and stories are GOOD when they're original and stand on their own merits. They don't have to copy other shit!!! Call this out for what it is, cheap Hollywood pandering.

I feel like they already did this

No disrespect but PLEASE WORK AT IT! The female centric Oceans and Ghostbusters movies did very poorly. Please put real effort into it so it can succeed.

Do not get me wrong..but How many female leads movies have failed until here.. a lot...just saying.

Hoping it's an original story line and not a reboot.

Years of trash acting brings you down this road

She's never been a pirate. Only a pirate should play a pirate.

its like disney just wants to lose money no?

But that’s pirate racist! Margo’s never been a pirate; how could she know what that feels like - right mikehenrybro ! FamilyGuy ClevelandOrenthalBrownJr

Wow a lot of negative comments, I would still watch it even it's bad, would love to see how she's gonna pull this off.

I wont watch without Johnny Depp in it bye 👋

Oh boy

Oh thank god for Hollywood. The historically supportive and safe place for women.

Pirates of the Caribbean is a shitty franchise. Gender doesn't come into it. This really is a more 👏 female 👏 serial 👏 killers 👏 type move. I don't care what gender the person in the fast and the furious is. I care about not having to watch it.

WTF !!!

No one asked for this.

After the debacles of the Ghostbusters, Oceans and Suicide Squad female versions ... 🤔

Well she can shiver my timbers anytime

Another unwatchable to add to the list.

Every time I see yet another movie turned into the 'female-centric' movie, I feel like I'm again a little girl who gets old toys my brothers no longer want to play with. Don't we deserve something ours, something authentic? Sick of being fed w/ leftovers disguised as a cake.

ms_awesomelife

Margot Robbie saying savvy ugh no thanks. Don't ruin it.

Here we go again another get woke get broke coming you’re way.

She's needs a new agent.

Hmmmmm.., No!

Is it too hard to find or write original stories about women?

Need to make a movie about the Philippine warrior princess Urduja. Now that’s a tale to tell.

lol nobody wants to watch that - Johnny Depp is the one and only pirate of the caribbean, this is just another case of 'get woke - go broke'. No thanks.

Hard pass

The b o m b it will be...

And it will be just as successful as oceans 8 and Ghostbusters...

Johnny Depp and enough

So another woke fest flop incoming.

Do you smell it

It will flop.

Can we get some original women centered stories? Has rebooting a tired franchises with women ever worked?

Nothing against her but NoJohnnyNoPirates

Is she going to wear an eye patch and a mask?

Ghostbusters 3........ enough said

That franchise became boring lately and now that it's politically correct it's done for me

good shot

Meh ?

They ruin everything ☹️

MargotRobbie can play George Washington if she wants!

This will definitely succeed where female Ghostbusters and female Suicide Squad failed. Just keep going!!

There is no franchise she can't kill

The world is female centric, this isnt news

NotReallyABear2 I am sure that it will be as well received as Harley Quinn

Another failed remake of a movie that isn’t even that old

Hollywood can’t stop beclowning itself.

Keep it realistic

Boooo

Another Ghostbusters remake. Avoid at all costs.

done already

Eww

What was wrong with the Johnny Depp one🤔

WOKE Pirates! LOL

BAD career move.

Sounds like one to miss. THNXBYE
