Orlando Bloom Out Of Pirates 4?

It appears that no-one has told Orlando Bloom about keeping the ?Pirates of the Caribbean? franchise going for a fourth installment, adding to speculation that Bloom won't be signed to continue his role.

Disney are as keen as mustard to do it, and Johnny Depp is telling anyone who?ll listen that he?d like to reprise his part of ?Cap?n Jack?.

Bloom has been quoted by imdb.com as saying ?they haven't said anything to me...so I guess I'm not coming back?.

Bloom may only be half-joking. Rumours have been rife since last year that Disney wants to cut costs if they?re to keep making the series, with Bloom being seen as the most expendable cast member.

Kiera Knightley and Depp are both seen as vital to the success of the films, however Bloom - who plays the hero ? may be seen as surplus to requirements.
