Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017). Johnny Depp will not appear in any further Pirates of the Caribbean films. He was sued by a crew member allegedly punched by the actor on the set of a film about the murder of Notorious BIG.

The latest addition, Dead Men Tell No Tales, was released in 2017 and once again found Johnny Depp suiting up to play the swaying swashbuckler Captain Jack Sparrow. The film also brought series' veterans Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley back into the fold, however briefly, alongside Pirates' newcomer Javier Bardem. While the film still made a respectable $794 million worldwide, Dead Men Tell No Tales was the lowest-grossing installment since The Black Pearl — which may be a bad sign for any future installments of the series.

Even still, anyone who stuck around for the post-credit scene saw the groundwork laid for a possible sixth installment. Before we look off to new horizons, let's take a look back at the last fifteen years and five movies of the Pirates franchise. In hindsight, it's easy to think that a movie about pirates starring Johnny Depp would seem like a no-brainer. But even the higher-ups at Disney were skeptical about making a movie based off a theme park ride.

Despite a number of other actor being offered the role of Jack Sparrow first, it’s hard to imagine anyone other than Johnny Depp portraying the staggering swashbuckler. The role even earned him an Academy Award nomination for his first outing. Which might make it even more of a shock to hear that he was on the verge of getting fired throughout the shoot. According to the actor, some of the higher-ups at Disney just couldn’t understand what he was doing with the character. They reportedly accused him of being inebriated, ruining the movie, and they even contemplated putting subtitles on the screen whenever the character speaks.

Though the series hasn't had a critical hit since The Curse of the Black Pearl, the franchise has continued to be a box office giant — grossing over $4.5 billion collectively and making it the twelfth-highest-grossing film franchise of all time. However, many of the Pirates movies are also ranked amongst the biggest budgeted movies of all time. Though it’s hard to gauge the actual budget of some movies when you factor in both production and advertising, as the most expensive movie ever made thanks to its reported budget of $379 million. With a worldwide gross over a billion dollars, it still looks like this was money well spent. After co-starring in the critically acclaimed 2011 film Atonement, that the Pirates franchise nearly destroyed Keira Knightley's career. Considering how popular the Pirates franchise has become, it’s easy to think the exact opposite. After all, the role of Elizabeth Swann sky-rocketed Knightley to fame overnight.
