'Pirates 4' a "priority" for Disney

Speaking to ComingSoon.net, Bruckheimer revealed that the studio is eager to make Pirates 4 with Johnny Depp before he stars as Tonto in a new Lone Ranger movie.
"It's a great franchise for them and for us, too," Bruckheimer said. "We love the character and Johnny was really excited about coming back to Captain Jack. He certainly is interested in Tonto, but Disney's priority is to get Pirates made first. You never know what's going to happen, but they would like it."
Series director Gore Verbinski left Pirates 4 to helm video game adaptation BioShock. However, Verbinski has since suggested that he may not make BioShock, leaving the door open for a Pirates sequel return.
"He created the franchise so we'd love to have him back," Bruckheimer said of Verbinski's potential return, "but it's kind of up to him."
