Austin Butler Is in ‘Pole Position’ to Be Offered Lead Role in the Next ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’


Austin Butler is in 'pole position' to be offered the lead in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie, an insider exclusively tells Life & Style of the role.

Austin Butler has played coy when asked about long-standing rumors connecting him to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise but insiders say it’s just a foregone conclusion at this point as he’s in pole position to be anointed as the new Johnny Depp. “Austin Butler and his team’s interest in the franchise has come at exactly the right time, and it doesn’t necessarily mean curtains for Margot’s take or even a return appearance by Johnny,” the source adds. “But what the studio really wants is a fresh new star who will spend years of his life making a new set of POTC films, and they’ll pay him handsomely for his services,” the insider says.
