Pirates of the Caribbean actor Damian O'Hare reflects on the legacy and potential future of the franchise. Following the adventures of Johnny Depp's swashbuckling pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, the franchise began in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which was a box office smash-hit, grossing $654.3 million against a production budget of $140 million. The film was credited with reinvigorating the pirate genre and spawned four financially successful sequels. Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is in development, but there are questions about the franchise's future since it seems that franchise star Depp will not return, following off-screen legal issues.
