Orlando Bloom reacts to Keira Knightley's conflicted feelings about Pirates of the Caribbean films

Orlando Bloom is voicing his support for Keira Knightley after she revealed that she has conflicted feelings toward the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise. 'I definitely understand,' he tells EW.

The actor, who is setting sail with Drew Barrymore as part of MSC Cruises’ upcoming Super Bowl ad, tells Entertainment Weekly over Zoom that, despite his own positive experience, he can sympathize with Knightley and her conflicted feelings toward their seafaring franchise. Bloom starred as Will Turner, an altruistic blacksmith who finds himself unexpectedly charting a brand new course for adventure after his love interest Elizabeth Swann (Knightley) is kidnapped by pirates in the original 2003 film. Speaking with EW in May, longtime producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that there are currently two separate films in the Pirates pipeline: a reboot written by Young Woman and the Sea scribe Jeff Nathanson, and another Margot Robbie-led project penned by Birds of Prey writer Christina Hodson.
