Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the most successful film franchises of all time, reaching $4.5 billion in revenue after five installments. However, main star Johnny Depp was involved in many private scandals that affected the brand. At the same time, the actor began to show signs of age. The most recent episode – Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) – achieved a revenue of 795 million USD, the second lowest of the five parts, not meeting the company’s expectations. Disney decided to fire him and find new faces.
Screenwriter Christina Hodson is behind the Birds of Prey project , the all-female superhero project of the DC Cinema universe. The project is highly appreciated for its exciting, humorous storytelling along with fast pacing and scene transitions. She is also in charge of many major projects such as The Flash series, Bumblebee (a spin-off of Transformers ).
Margot Robbie was born in 1990 in Australia and is labeled a “sex bomb” for her sexy roles. In 2017, she proved her acting ability with a female lead Oscar nomination for the movie I, Tonya . Recently, she has become Hollywood’s most sought-after star, participating in many major projects such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood , Bombshell or a series of films about the character Harley Quinn ( Bird of Prey, Suicide Squad ).
