Keira Knightley Will Not Return for Pirates Of The Caribbean 4

Source:  Daily Mail
The Oscar-nominated actress Keira Knightley finished filming her last scene this week as pirate wench Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End, according to the Daily Mail.

The United Kingdom based newspaper says that Knightley has told the movie's producers that she doesn't want to participate in any further sequels.

Keira's co-star in the series, Johnny Depp, has already said that he would consider playing the ramshackle pirate Captain Jack Sparrow - famously modeled on Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards - as long as the scripts remained good.

"I've been playing this girl since I was 17," Keira told the newspaper.

"I'm 21 now and I'm onto very different things, but it's fun to try to invest Elizabeth with some rebellious spirit.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End will be released on May 25, 2007.

Hello Pirates of the Caribbean Fans....
Since The Fountain of Youth is in Florida, I'm hoping that Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl will invite some of us aboard....After all I was there twice when she entered our harbor of Key West over the last few years.

Reading the article above, it seems liek in the last sentence she is just using her role as elizabeth as some thing that she can base other characters on or something like that. That is not right because to me and many others it is not just some character in some movie that we have seen, to me the pirates movies mean much more to me than that. They are my all time favoriter movies and to hear her say that just doesnt sound right. I know i keep going off topic with this whole "we can go around her "thing but i will talk about it now. WHen they leave off with Will and elizabeth, will is coming to visit her and their son , since will is now captain of the dutchman, he can only come to visit her once every ten years. So when they pick up in 4, elizabeth and their son could be waiting for will and the son and her would have to have aged a bit over ten years, so they could find a new actress that looks somewhat like her and a bit older maybe. Tat would only be a good idea IF she absolutly refuses to play the role. Pirates 3 also ends with "the fountain of youth" all over with barbossa and jack looking to head there with the charts. There is whole new story they were leading into at the end of 3. they have to make a 4! The Pirates movies are great and can be great with out her!!

So as i said before there are ways to move around her. I love love love love love love love love love love Captain Jack and of coarse all the Pirates movies. I saw Pirates 3 the first night it came out and he last night it was in any theater. I drove 45 min to see it on the last night. so i saw pirates 3 a totall of 5 times while in theaters!!! So as u can c i love pirates of the caribbean! Because Kiera is a part of the "crew" and has been for the last few years, i feel that she has no right to leave before everyone decides that the movies are finished. I agree with lilybetheslopez in a way becuase i think she could become a great star IF she continues pirates movies because they have done her so much good.

Ok if Kiera wants to be an idiot then fine. As much as i think that she should not leave and do pirates 4, there are still ways to move around her. I think Pirates has done wonders for her carrer, Much more than her latest movie, Atonment..which by the way my grandma saw, never me! ok anyway so my grandma said she hated it, that she came out all depresed because the movie was soo terrible! so as far as i can see her performance in pirates was much more intersting

Ok I personaly dont like Kiera very much. But i know that for her fans and even the people who dont like her might begin to if she does Pirates 4. If she doesnt do 4 she will make her fans dislike her and the peeps hoo dont like her going to hating her.

Keira Kneightly is a great actress!! If she chooses not to be in another movie so be it, but we can always have a fourth movie I mean it can be like Elizabeth is waiting for Will. I love all the movies and would love it weather she was in it or not. It is her choice not yours so say what you want. She will always be my favorite actress and I will always love her.

I think there should be a 4th Pirates movie because Captain Jack Sparrow is a mystery. Not much is known about Jack Sparrow. Where is he from? How did he become a pirate? How did he become captain of the Black Pearl? What about the deal he made with Davy Jones to raise the Black Pearl from the depths so he could be captain for 13 years. How about the scene in Pirates 3 where all the pirate lords meet and Keith Richards appears as Jack's father - what's the deal with that? How did the whole situation with Davy Jones, his crew and Tia Dalma come about? Furthermore, how did Jack come to know Tia Dalma? Obviously, Barbossa knew Tia Dalma's real identity, so how did that whole deal with her bringing him back come about. He had to know that he was going to die and left instruction with her to bring him back so he could get all the pirate lords together to free her. Is she with Davy Jones now that she is free? All these questions and not to mention the future of Jack, Elizabeth, Will, etc... should be answered. Maybe the story writers can do something like the Star Wars movies where they take us back in time before Jack became a pirate and how his life progresses until he becomes the Jack that we all know and love!

i don't mean to scare you or anything but if you read the rest the responses that your other biggest fans made form what you made your deccition about POTC4 maybe you will change your mind on the movie and just to cheer fans up at least do one more and let the ending be happely ever after so then our orlando, johnny, and keira fans can be settled with POTC. PS: if ypu have your spare time and really make POTC popfor the rest the movie history maybe you will do up to POTC6 and you will thank us fans for pushing and convincing you on continuing POTC becase you will recive tank LOAD of money and recive a lot of rewards for being such a great actressPSPS: i love every single movie you acted in and future movies you will act in, you will become famous than what your are now if you keep your acting carrer and sonner or later you will have your hands indentedin sement, have a statue of you, and to become legen. *i uderstand being an actress can be a little stressing but don't give up keep on trying and you will never know were life will bring you

Ok First of all...With the way the third movie ends WITH KEIRA they can make a wonderful forth movie that millions will be rushing to the theaters to see.....I think the fourth should invovle jack looking for the foutain of youth but is stoped by elizabeth who is deperatly searching for a way to free will from the flying duchmaned and needs jacks help they can't just end it that way....will and elizabeth need thier happliy ever after....If they end thier characters story that way they will have MILLIONS of diapointed fans! and Keira suck it up and play in the fourth your one of everyones favorite including mine...and your fans are going to be so dissapointed if your not in the fourth one....come on kiera don't let us down and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't end elizabeth and Wills story like that ......PLEASE!

im sorry but she just has to come back for the fourth movie it just won't be the same with out her and what will happen with her and Will if she doesn't come back we will never know we will never know about their son what Will has to say about him because he's been gone for ten years the movie is going to b like as if jack leaves and doesn't come back for the fourth one it will make for a horrible movie

December 3rd, 2007 8:20pm
I love all theh pirates movies and I'm a hopeless romantic so I really think that the fourth movie should at least touch on some way that Elizabeth and Will can find a way to be together. I was really upset (as were most people that I know) that Will ended up captaining the ship when he and Elizabeth should have had their happy ever after. I would love to see more action but I really want the happy ending for will and Elizabeth too!

At the end of the third movie, after the credits, it showed Will and Elizabeth's baby. This will make the fourth movie so much more intersting. Even though Elizabeth isn't my favorite character (Captain Jack) I cannot imagine the movie without Keira, so I do hope she will return. I really want a Pirates four, Keira, so please do a fourth!!!

Depp was very emphatic about it, as a matter of fact, saying "[Jack Sparrow is] a blast to play, I'll be in a deep, dark depression saying goodbye to him ... Maybe 'Pirates 4, 5 and 6'. If they had a good script, why not? I mean, at a certain point, the madness must stop, but for the moment, I can't say that he's done."
THIS IS A QUOTE FROM JOHNNY!!!! i LUV HIM!!!!!! wHO'S WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!

I agree they should make more pirates movies with or without keira. If she want to be such an Idiot for passing up an opportunity like that and dissapointing all of her fans(not many) than the world will move on. The pirates movies (like someone already suggested) should find someone that looks simalar and is a bit older. IN pirates 3 will is captain of the dutchan and she only see's him once every ten years. So, they could introduce her in pirates 4 the next time she is waiting for will. She had to have aged so it would be perfect. PIrates of the caribbean movies are great and they will do great with out her.

Well I think that Keira hopefully will be in it.
Because at the end of POTC 3
after all the credits the show her ten years later with her son and they show Will coming back.
So i think if there gonna show that, then they have to at least show keira for atleast 10 mintutes in POTC 4.
And i think that it wouldnt be so satisfing if she wasnt in it because after all she does pretty much turn into a pirate through out all the movies and so theyd have to show her ESPECIALLY since she is one of the main characterts.

Thank God!! I hate Keira Knightley! She cannot pull off the character... she annoys the life outa every POTC fan I know! In the 3rd one she's more pathetic than the first 2 put together!! They should kill the parrot face, skinny small featured, can't pull off the pout, cant act, UGLY woman off!!

the way I see it, the producers, writers, and directors don't think they are screwing up this way. they wrote the 3rd movie so it would end with Kiera/Elizabthe being left behind, this way she wouldn't be missed. I think the are W-R-O-N-G!!!! (!x like a billion) viewers, fans, AND reporters (duh, reporters want any kind of dirt they can get) will want to know how Elizabeth spends 10 years at a time, knitting? Others will want her to have an affair with another to make things exciting. It goes on and on. The point is WE NEED THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS TO MAKE MOVIES WORK!!! It would be the same if thing if say Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson or RUpert Grint suddenly decided they didn't want to be Harry, Hermione or Ron anymore. Too bad for Kiera "I've been playing this role since I was 17, I'm 21 now." well Daniel, Emma and Rupert have been playing these characters since they were 10 or 11, THEY'E 17 NOW! The point we need to get to Kiera and the Director, casting director, producers and whatnot is they will lose money on this film if they don't have kiera and as for kiera, come on, its like a million dollars!!! Does she EVEN know what kind of stuff she would do with that money? She could make herself look good (better) by sending $1,000 to the red cross or a childrens hospital, she would get publicite, for actors and actresses publicity is very important, and GOOD publicity is even better. She would be unstoppable if she would just do the rest of the movies. Who cares if they were supposed to be a trillogy? These movies are based on books and the books didn't stop at this, I know that much...

i agree wit joshyboy shes making millions and shes just going to blow it off i think were talking about the greatest series of films of the century that may make history, for her to blow that off there is no good reason its owning the theaters setting the bar for other films exceeding our expectations and many other peoples if she doesnt want to be part of it and only wants to quit be my guest there are far better actressess willing to play her part probably free of pay and i cant blame them these next few more movies are going to be a breakthrought that the movie buisness has never encountered and in the end of these films 3 things are going to happen:1. the actors and actresses are going going to become multi-millionares (those who already arent:):2,they actors and actresses will go into a movie hall of fame;2, i go movie shopping....:):):)

um if kiera knightley isnt in it...it will completely ruin the whole pirates of the caribbean! these are my ALL TIME favorite movies and ill die if they make a fourth one and screw it up by not putting kiera or orlando in it...ORLANDO is HOT...noone could possibly replace him...DUH
  (Delete)
June 30th, 2007 3:30am
Well, for her to leave would be really stupid... shes making plenty of money im sure, so why pass up the oppertunity to make another couple million dollers?!? I mean who would want to pass that up, i understand shes been on this set for 4 years, but still shes living the life... so she should get over it, and bring herself back to atleast finish off pirates 4. I wouldnt be supprized if it even went to a 5-6, seeing as it is so popular, and makes so much money in the box office. I hope she comes back, but after the 10 years Elizabeth has to spend to see will, they could replace her with an older actress, so it should all turn out fine with or without her.

June 28th, 2007 7:20pm
pirates wouldn't be pirates without her
if there is only going to be one more i think she should stay
she's stuck with it this long, what's one more year
i also heard a rumor that orlando was leaving not keira
(that would be horrible)
i had an idea for the 4th movie though
i think that jack should go to the fountain of youth and it should make 10 years go back so that elizabeth and will can be together. after they go back 10 years jack should stab the heart and will should never die and jack could becaome the captain like he wanted in the beginning.
wow
that's confusing
but i think thats how they should end it
everyone lives happily ever after(haha)

Kiera has to come back! Without her, how could the storyline of Will and Elizabeth continue? Sure, it seems like its over but once every 10 years? I think Captain Jack Sparrow would have something to help with that. You can't cut out any of the three main characters. Without them, the movie would be a complete failure.

June 23rd, 2007 5:08pm
Keira must return for POTC4 (if there is one). She complains because she has been acting Elizabeth for too long, well what about Johnny and Orlando with Jack and will, they've been doing it just as long and you don't see them pulling out. Without any of the major characters (Jack, Elizabeth, Will and even Barbossa) Pirates would be a sure failure. Elizabeth has been such a huge part of the movies since the beginning it wouldn't be possible to remove her succesfully. The end of the third movie leaves the perfect path paved for the fourth one. Sure Elizabeth and Will's stories may seem to be over, but Will is still the captain of the Dutchman, so he isn't done, and with Elizabeth in possesion of his heart, what would become if it if she were to leave? Why would she want to drop out now, at the peak of her performance, she is just going to continue to make money and fame the longer she sticks with it. Keira has already won the hearts of all her fans, would she really want to break them all. I had never even knew who the girl was until I saw POTC, now I love her. Keira you can't quit POTC!!
