Why Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom Didn’t Return for the Fourth ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Movie
In the 2000s, the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ series transformed into a popular cultural touchstone, tracing the adventures of Elizabeth Swann (played by Knightley), Will Turner (Bloom), and Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp). But in 2011, with the release of ‘On Stranger Tides’, these cherished characters seemed to vanish. This movie, introducing fresh main characters and a new narrative, represented a substantial shift away from the original trilogy’s storyline.
