\u201cF1\u201d producer Jerry Bruckheimer<\/a> provided updates on a number of his biggest Hollywood franchises during a keynote conversation Tuesday at TheWrap\u2019s TheGrill 2025 conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Right off the bat, Bruckheimer gave a promising update on the planned sixth installment in the \u201cPirates of the Caribbean\u201d franchise<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re working on a script,\u201d Bruckheimer told TheWrap\u2019s Drew Taylor, before noting that the project will not move forward until he and his collaborators are happy with what has been written. \u201cIf we don\u2019t have it on the page, it\u2019s not gonna get on the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had two scripts at one point, and then one kind of dropped out and we kind of went with the other one,\u201d Bruckheimer said, when asked about the past iterations of the still-developing sequel. Contrary to previous reports, Bruckheimer revealed that \u201cBarbie\u201d star Margot Robbie, who was reportedly set to star in a scrapped take on \u201cPirates 6\u201d years ago, is still attached in some capacity to the franchise\u2019s next installment.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s still involved,\u201d the producer said, adding that \u201cPirates\u201d franchise veteran Ted Elliott contributed to the sixth installment\u2019s current script. \u201cHe worked on it, and we\u2019ve brought someone else in to fill in the blanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bruckheimer didn\u2019t only have exciting \u201cPirates of the Caribbean\u201d updates to share Tuesday. When asked about the long-rumored \u201cNational Treasure 3,\u201d the producer said, \u201cWe\u2019re getting closer on that one.\u201d He confirmed that the intention is for original \u201cNational Treasure\u201d director Jon Turteltaub and star Nicolas Cage to return for the long-awaited sequel.<\/p>\n

While work continues on the project, Bruckheimer revealed that he was not frustrated by the move that the franchise made to the small screen in 2022 with the short-lived Disney+ series, \u201cNational Treasure: Edge of History.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, it was completely different,\u201d Bruckheimer said of the spin-off. \u201cWe want to keep the name alive in the public eye [and] the zeitgeist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding some of his other properties, Bruckheimer said he and his team are in the midst of \u201cworking on some ideas\u201d for sequels to both \u201cF1\u201d and 1990\u2019s \u201cDays of Thunder.\u201d He added that a writer has not been hired yet to write the latter project, but he does expect the latest draft of a \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d sequel script to be turned in next month by \u201cF1\u201d writer and \u201cMaverick\u201d co-writer Ehren Kruger.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hardest one has been \u2018Pirates\u2019 so far,\u201d Bruckheimer confessed, while reflecting on the franchises that have been the most difficult for him to keep going. It has been eight years since the series\u2019 last installment, 2017\u2019s \u201cDead Men Tell No Tales,\u201d hit theaters. \u201cThat world is so cool and specific,\u201d Bruckheimer observed. \u201cYou just gotta find the right way in.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for \u201cF1,\u201d<\/a> Bruckheimer explained why Apple was the perfect partner for making the blockbuster racing film that grossed over $626 million worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they understood how he wanted to make one of the most authentic racing movie ever made,\u201d he said. \u201cEddy Cue, he\u2019s on the board of Ferrari, and he understood that it takes time and money to make it right.\u201d<\/p>\n

To accurately capture the racing in the film, \u201cF1\u201d director Joseph Kosinski leaned into shooting as much footage practically as possible. And when the actors and writers strikes hit, Kosinski was able to travel around the world himself to nine different race tracks to capture footage that would normally be shot by a second unit director. \u201cWe came back a year later and filmed the actors at the same race tracks,\u201d Bruckheimer said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hard part was to convince F1 to work with us,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re a worldwide operation, they spend hundreds of millions of dollars, so to allow a Hollywood movie to come into their life would be disruptive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kosinski was inspired by \u201cDrive to Survive,\u201d the docuseries, and brought \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d \u2014 which hadn\u2019t been released yet \u2014 to help convince teams and drivers to allow the \u201cF1\u201d production to work with them on the film.<\/p>\n

Bruckheimer tipped his hat to Kosinski for pushing for Imax exhibition for the film, which was released in theaters by Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we had Apple and Warner Brothers, the first call Joe made was to Imax, so talk to them to make sure that we could get the screens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Given that \u201cF1\u201d shot overseas, the longtime producer was also asked whether Donald Trump\u2019s threat of 100% tariffs on movies made outside the U.S. worried him, but he shrugged it off. \u201cThere\u2019s always a lot of noise,\u201d he said. \u201cNothing you can do about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes an army for us to get a movie made, let me tell ya,\u201d the producer divulged. Despite that, Bruckheimer told TheGrill\u2019s 2025 attendees that he has no intention of slowing down anytime soon, let alone retiring to spend the rest of his days playing golf.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate golf,\u201d Bruckheimer said, to many laughs. \u201cI can\u2019t spend four hours doing something and not making a movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
