The actor, who played Captain Barbossa in the original trilogy, said that he will reprise his role in the forthcoming sequel.
He added that he has been asked to keep his schedule open for filming to possibly start as soon as next year.
He told MTV: "They're waiting for the screenplay writers to put together something that's beyond the trilogy, take it off into a new direction so that it's fresh and hopefully really interesting for an audience, that they're not going to just sausage-machine out something else, which wouldn't be so good."
However, it was previously reported that star Johnny Depp has admitted that his involvement in the franchise was in question because he made a verbal agreement to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow with Disney chairman Dick Cook, who was subsequently fired from the studio.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is scheduled for release in 2011.
