“We pitched it and thought there’s no way they’re buying it, it’s too weird. And they did!” Mazin told the LA Times.

Mazin told the publication he had been working on the script prior to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes alongside one of the original film’s writers Ted Elliot. However, due to the strikes, the development of the reboot has been put on hold.

As of now, it’s unknown what Mazin’s Pirates movie would be about or how it would be connected to the franchise. It’s also to be determined if Johnny Depp will reprise his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the new film.
