Pirates of the Caribbean 'directly inspired Disney's next big movie'
The last Pirates of the Caribbean film to be released was Salazar’s Revenge, which was released in 2017. Although the film made a staggering $794 million at the box office, this was markedly less than the $1 billion made with the previous film, On Stranger Tides. Since then, Disney have been quiet about the next Pirates film. Until then, the next big adventure, Jungle Cruise, is due out this summer and has now been revealed to have heavily inspired by the series.
Although Jungle Cruise does not have Johnny Depp in it, the pillars of the film have been created to mimic that of Pirates.
Dwayne Johnson plays the swashbuckling rogue, while Emily Blunt plays a tougher-than-expected adventurer.
Speaking at a set visit, Johnson revealed the inspiration behind the film, saying: “The movies that truly inspired this movie are Romancing the Stone and, certainly, Pirates of the Caribbean.
“Because we have an opportunity here to make a movie that’s based off an iconic Disney ride that has been beloved for generations and generations and the responsibility of that.”
