Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Reboots

The idea of a Pirates Of The Caribbean reboot seems... interesting, especially as the last film, Dead Men Tell No Tales, came out last summer, but it has been fifteen years since the original, and given that they’ve already tried a largely standalone sequel (inserting some of the cast into the Tim Powers novel On Stranger Tides) after ongoing trilogy-ising and swung back to serialisation after that, a clean slate might help, particularly if the plan is to move to a different main character.

I can imagine spinoffs from a clean slate working better as well, if they wanted to make something like a Marvel or Star Wars style annual event planned from the beginning, or something like animated or even live-action series.

Still be nice if we got an RPG, for that matter.
