Bloom bids adieu to POTC

LOS ANGELES: Orlando Bloom has revealed he will not star in the next sequel to the Pirates of the Caribbean.

The actor, who played Will Turner in the films, said he wants to do different roles.

“I think Will is sort of swimming around with the fish at the bottom of the ocean,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying. He added, “I had a great time making those movies. I just really wanted to do different things.” However, he is keen to see Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow once again. Bloom also feels that Nine and Chicago filmmaker Rob Marshall, who will direct the next pirate flick, will do a great job.

He added, “I think he’s an amazing director. It will be a very interesting fit, because Johnny is musical and something really beautiful will come out of it.”
