Geoffrey Rush Has an Idea for How Barbossa Can Return in Pirates of the Caribbean 6
Pirates of the Caribbean actor Geoffrey Rush has said he's keen to make a return to Disney's swashbuckling franchise, if only to "annoy Jack Sparrow" one last time.
Geoffrey Rush, a cast member of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, expressed his desire to reprise his role as Hector Barbossa in the upcoming sixth installment of the franchise. The actor, who has appeared in all five previous movies, believes that the time gap between the last film and now is sufficient for Barbossa's return.
Rush compared Barbossa's potential comeback to Hamlet's father returning as a ghost, suggesting that it would require good writing to make the character's resurrection believable. Rush also proposed involving fans in the decision-making process, asking for their input on how Barbossa should return. Meanwhile, Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer is reportedly in discussions with Johnny Depp about his potential return to the franchise, despite previous statements indicating Depp's reluctance to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.
It has been suggested that Margot Robbie could take the lead in Pirates 6, but Bruckheimer remains committed to bringing back some of the original cast members for a fresh take on the beloved series.
