Austin Butler has recently broken his silence on casting speculations in an upcoming movie, Pirates of the Caribbean reboot. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight , Austin responded, “I haven’t heard about that. I loved Pirates of the Caribbean.
” The actor, who is currently promoting his new movie The Bikeriders , told ET , “That just reminded me of when I was a kid.” “In elementary school, we had to make these posters that had like your favorite music, your favourite actors,” he continued. The Elvis actor remarked, “At that time – I don’t know what grade, it must have been fourth grade, third grade or something – but it was — Pirates of the Caribbean was on there.
” Austin mentioned, “It’s a hard one to touch because they did it so well. I loved what Johnny [Depp] did with that.” Last month, producer Jerry Bruckheimer spoke to Entertainment Weekly that the “two new movies” are in development, including his own reboot and Margot Robbie’s female-led spinoff.
“We hope to get ’em both made, and I think Disney agrees they really want to make the Margot one, too,” he continued. Jerry disclosed that he would be ready to include Johnny in the reboot. “It’s a reboot, but if it was up to me, he would be in it.
I love him. He’s a good friend. He’s an amazing artist and he’s a unique look.
He created Captain Jack,” he pointed out. Meanwhile, Austin will next be seen in The Bikeriders , which will release in theatres on June 21..
