Although one might think that Johnny Depp would be more than grateful to Orlando Bloom for coming on to the new Pirates of the Caribbean at the last minute to help make the film a success, but word has it that he's anything but. According to the latest gossip news updates, Amber Heard's loving husband hates that Hobbit elf had to reportedly be called in to save the picture. For her part, Keira Knightly has explained that she will not be in Dead Men Tell No Tales or any other sequels for that matter. The Imitation Game actress doesn't regret being a part of the legendary franchise, but promises that she is never going to help them make another one.
Being that Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales was said to be $70 million over budget -- with $5 million of that reportedly going to Orlando Bloom -- it seems like Johnny Depp would appreciate his old costar coming on board to help with the heavy lifting.
The insider in the latest September 14, issue of OK! Magazine insists that, instead, Depp couldn't be more upset with Disney's decision to reach out to Orlando -- especially given what it's done for Bloom's reputation:
"[Johnny's] so angry that Orlando was brought in to save the franchise.
"There has long bene bad blood between the two of them...They can't stand each other."
Regardless of Johnny's hang-up's, however, Disney didn't have all that many options when looking for an original cast franchise cast member to reinvigorate the new film.
Keira Knightly explained in no uncertain terms during her interview with Movie Pilot last month that she had no intention of ever returning for another Pirates of the Caribbean sequel:
"My time has definitely passed -- I loved it -- it was an amazing experience.
"But I won't be going back."
What do you think about Jonny Depp's reportedly having a problem with Orlando Bloom's coming back to the cast?
Is he right to take the last minute addition as a slight?
Or, should Depp lighten up given he makes the same amount of money either way?
