Walt Disney Pictures has reportedly made tentative plans to shoot a fourth film in 2009.[38] Johnny Depp has stated that he would love to play Jack Sparrow for another trilogy "if they had a good script."[39] In February 2007, after filming was completed on Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, screenwriter Terry Rossio said he and Ted Elliott may try to write a screenplay, though "It's like the fourth Indiana Jones picture — there are forces in play to make it happen, and forces in play to make it not happen."[40] The film has since been produced. Geoffrey Rush has expressed interest in returning as Barbossa.[41]
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has indicated interest in a spin-off,[42] but was exhausted by the trilogy's production.[43] Gore Verbinski feels that "the big danger is diminishing the brand [...] it would have to be a tale worthy of telling" for him to return.[44] If the director returned, he noted that "I would start fresh and focus on the further adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow."[45] Unlike the previous films, he will not do it without a complete script.[46] Keira Knightley has stated that she does not wish to continue playing her character of Elizabeth Swann as she wants to do different projects, since she has been involved in the filming since she was 17 years old.
