Walt Disney have been planning to release the fourth installment of its most successful trilogy Pirates of the Caribbean 4 in 2011.Though many reports are conflicting on how the studio get on the fourth film, many favors that the fourth film will focus solely on the renowned Captain Jack Sparrow.

So, The production might not begin until sometime between 2009-2011.

It could be disappointment for fans that Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are not expected to be back, but it’s not official yet.
”Pirates 4 “would toss the Elizabeth & Will characters [portrayed by Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, respectively] over the side in favor of doing a bawdy buddy picture which would star Jack Sparrow & Barbossa. Where both captains of the Black Pearl would initially be competing for the exact same prize.But eventually all the double crossing would have to stop as these two rivals were then forced to join forces in order to defeat some supernatural terror.”
