Orlando won't be returning to Pirates 4

Looks like Orlando Bloom’s days of being a pirate are over! He’s reportedly done playing his role of Will Turner in the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise, after already having starred in three of the films.

A source tells News of the World, “Orlando loved the films but thinks it’s time to bow out because they tied up nicely for his character. The producers are okay with that because they want to concentrate on the new adventures of Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow.”

I sort of figured it would go that way. While it would be nice to see him return to the franchise, I am sure they'll do well without him.

Will had his "10 years into the future" moment so the series won't even have to explain his absence. But he was a cute pirate.

And it was Depp's character , for better or worse, that became the major focus of the story-telling.
