Rumour has it that Disney are grooming Zac Efron to take over from Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
The High School Musical star, who’s said he never wants to play singing basketballer Troy ever again, has been offered US$10 million by Disney to star alongside Depp’s character, Captain Jack Sparrow, in the fourth instalment of Pirates.

It’s official: Pirates of the Caribbean will be back for one last hurrah!
Variety reports that actor Johnny Depp – who portrays the lovable, slightly inebriated Captain Jack Sparrow in the films – has just signed on to appear in the fourth installment of the blockbuster franchise.
No word yet on what the plot will be this time around, but given the way the last one ended, I’d say there’s a good chance we’ll see Geoffry Rush’ character, Captain Barbossa, pop up for a moment of two.

Disney may be considering making another Pirates of the Caribbean film, but star actress Keira Knightley has confirmed that she won’t be a part of it.
While in Toronto promoting her new period film, The Duchess, Knightley made a surprise statement to the waiting press, telling them that her “pirating days” are over.
“I think it was wonderful and an amazing opportunity and those filmes were just extraordinary and I was extremely lucky to be a part of them,” Knightley said. “But no. I think my pirating days may be over.”
