Mackenzie Crook Open to Returning as Ragetti in Pirates of the Caribbean 6
The actor said he would reprise the role "for the hell of it", but any return depends on the script and he would accept a cameo.
Mackenzie Crook has said he is open to returning as Ragetti in Pirates of the Caribbean 6, following Johnny Depp's recent comments about the film, according to screenrant.com. The actor said he would do it "for the hell of it".
Crook added that any return would depend on the script, and that he would even accept a cameo if it showed what happened to Pintel and Ragetti. He also said he was fond of the Ragetti character.
Looking back on the earlier films, Crook described the shoots as at times grueling and said the experience felt like the end of an era of old-fashioned movie making.
Older plans and newer talk
Ragetti and Pintel appeared in the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films and were last seen in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, released in 2007. Plans for the pair to return in On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales fell through, with appearances cut or lost to scheduling conflicts.
During the press tour for Ebenezer, Johnny Depp said he does not know if audiences will "see us set sail" and that his involvement in Pirates of the Caribbean 6 would be to send the franchise off on a better note. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has repeatedly said the project is in development and that there have been talks with Depp, while Margot Robbie has been reported as attached at various points, when the film was described more as a reboot.
