Despite Bill Nighy's statement that any announcement about "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is premature, the movie has slowly shown its shape. Being interviewed by IESB, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said he and other filmmakers are "working on the story right now."

Though so, he refused to confirm that the next installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean" film franchise is definitely going to happen, claiming "Nothing is except death and taxes. Deaths and taxes are 100%. Nothing else is." Moreover, when asked whether or not Johnny Depp will return to reprise his role as Jack Sparrow, the 64-year-old expressed uncertainty as he said, "Well, if the script's good, he'll be there."

However, in September the actor himself has revealed that he is set to work on another "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. Additionally, Depp is reportedly "excited to work together" with Rob Marshall, who has confirmed his participation in the upcoming Disney's movie. Marshall will replace Gore Verbinski who decided to drop out of the next "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie after successfully directing the first three films.

Eying a summer 2011 release, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is said to follow Jack Sparrow in his quest to find the Fountain of Youth. He will team up with Captain Barbossa in order to "defeat some supernatural terror".
