Will Penelope Cruz Return for ‘Pirates’ 5 and 6?

By Michael Lopez

It looks like the Harry Potter franchise is about to get a run for its money. HitFix.com announced last Friday that Disney plans to film two more Pirates Of The Caribbean movies after On Stranger Tides is released next summer. That would make a total of six Pirates films and plenty of potential opportunities to catch a glimpse of Penelope Cruz.

Of course, we still don't know anything about her character, Angelica, or if Penelope is committed to the next batch of sequels. But from what we’ve heard about her onscreen chemistry with Johnny Depp, signing her should be a no-brainer.

Few details have been revealed about the next two Pirates movies, other than that they would be filmed back-to-back and connect to some larger plotline. Jack Sparrow meets the Shark Week megamouths? The Black Pearl crash lands on Lost island? Oh yeah, we’ve got TONS of ideas.

All kidding aside, we’re sure the execs behind the next Pirates flicks are already assembling a top-notch team. Rumors are flying that its original writers, Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott, could be brought back. And even if Penelope’s baby bump looks more like a Butterball when cameras start rolling, we know the perfect substitute for her swashbuckling role.
