Orlando Bloom Won’t Return to Pirates
Posted by Richard Head
ORLANDO Bloom will not return to Pirates of the Caribbean because his character is dead to him.
The British actor — who played good guy William Turner in the swashbuckling flick — has no plans to return to the franchise, despite a clamor for his reprisal.
“No, I’m definitely not returning,” he said. “William Turner is sort of swimming around with the fish at the bottom of the ocean.”
Although the 33-year-old star won’t be joining Johnny Depp in the new movie, Orlando had a blast making the previous films.
“I had a great time making those movies,” he said. “I just really wanted to do different things, but I think it’s going to be great. Whatever Johnny does, I think it’s fantastic.”
Orlando is the second star of the franchise to confirm he won’t be in the next instalment of the series.
Keira Knightly — who plays Elizabeth Swan — has also stated she won’t be returning.
Lead character Captain Jack Sparrow — played by Johnny — is returning for the fourth movie, entitled Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
It has been suggested the actor will receive at least$35 million for reprising the role.
