'Pirates of the Caribbean' producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that 'Pirates of the Caribbean 6' will be a reboot. Talking to 'ComicBook.com', he hinted that he is planning on rebooting the franchise, which makes it logistically more straightforward to work out a schedule. Bruckheimer said, "Because, with Top Gun, you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he did before he did Top Gun, I can't tell you. But we're gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don't have to wait for certain actors."
