ThePirates of the Caribbeanfranchise began with 2003’sThe Curse of the Black Pearl.
However,The Curse of the Black Pearlended up being a massive success.
Therefore, the success ofThe Curse of the Black Pearlled to several morePirates of the Caribbeanmoviesbeing made.
However, none of the sequels have been able to reclaim the critical success that the first movie achieved.
Therefore,it is clear that critics did not like any of thePirates of the Caribbeansequels.
After the success ofThe Curse of the Black Pearl, Disney immediately wanted to make morePirates of the Caribbeanmovies.
This led to Gore Verbinski shootingDead Man’s ChestandAt World’s Endback to back.
However,Depp doesn’t have to return as Jack Sparrow forPirates of the Caribbean 6to be a success.
