The two worked together closely on the DC Comics adaptation Birds of Prey, which was released in theaters earlier this year. Interestingly, it has recently been rumored that Karen Gillan as being eyed for a Pirates reboot.

The previous "Pirates" movies, all starring Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, grossed $1.5 billion domestically and $3.07 billion internationally, with the North American market representing a progressively smaller share. The domestic total for 2017’s "Dead Men Tell No Tales" hit $172 million, while foreign markets delivered $622 million.
