Disney Could Reboot Pirates of the Caribbean With Female Lead

Michael Douglas wants you to be ready for Ant-Man news. Easing lockdown restrictions in New Zealand could lead to work restarting on Avatar and Lord of the Rings. Plus, get another vampy look at Mark Hamill’s arrival on What We Do in the Shadows, and what’s to come on the season finales of both Batwoman and Supergirl. To me, my spoilers!

Ant-Man 3

Pirates of the Caribbean 6

According to the DisInsider’s Skyler Shuler, Pirates of the Caribbean 6 will be a “soft reboot” potentially starring Doctor Who and Guardian of the Galaxy’s Karen Gillen as Redd, a “fierce and independent nomadic pirate” added to the theme park ride in 2018 to replace a version of herself being sold at a bridal auction in the original attraction.
