“When people talk about it, they talk about it with a lot of love, so I hope they have success with whatever they do. Jerry is a good, steady hand on the tiller, I think, so whatever he does, I’m sure it will be a success.”
On the other hand, franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer seemed to diss Johnny Depp with his statements! Talking about the trend of Hollywood rebooting franchises, Bruckheimer’s statements were not taken too kindly.

. Jerry Bruckheimer is a renowned producer in Hollywood who has worked in several blockbuster films throughout his career. In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Bruckheimer talked about how these big movies are made and how “It’s hard to tell.”
“It’s hard to tell. You don’t know, you really don’t know. You don’t know how they come together. You just don’t know. Because with Top Gun you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does Top Gun, I can’t tell you.”
As he continued, Bruckheimer talked about how they were going to reboot the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and may have dissed Johnny Depp in the statements!
“But we’re gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.”
