Orlando Bloom could be killed off in the fourth ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movie, as its producers struggle to “cut costs” – reports say.
Bloom’s character, Will Turner, could be axed as it’s “not necessary” to the Disney movies. However, other cast members Johnny Depp and Keira Knightly are unaffected by the cuts and won’t be forced to walk the plank.
"Pirates of The Caribbean has proved a huge hit and made a fortune for everyone involved,” a source at Disney has revealed to a British newspaper.
"A huge chunk of that success is on the shoulders of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. Love interest Keira Knightley, who plays Elizabeth Swann is a huge hit.
"But producers and directors are now trying to cut costs. Orlando Bloom has suffered as a result.
"The script for the fourth Pirates movie is being worked on and all the finances are in place but it was decided Bloom's character and a number of minor roles were not necessary to ensure it would be yet another box office smash for Disney."
