HOLLYWOOD – Orlando Bloom’s much-loved character in Pirates of the Caribbean will reportedly be killed off in the fourth installment of the Disney series — so says a Disney insider who spoke to the British paper Daily Star.
According to the source, the script for the fourth film is currently being written, and Disney bean counters are already examining ways to cut its massive costs.
According to British newspaper reports, Bloom’s character Will Turner is deemed “not necessary” to the sea-faring saga, although his cast mates Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp are unaffected by the cutbacks.
The report also states that the films’ minor characters, who were faithfully brought back for the first sequel, are also on the chopping block.
