According to WENN, Orlando Bloom's character, Will Turner, will be killed off in the fourth installment of the Disney series PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN.

"The script for the fourth Pirates movie is being worked on and all the finances are in place but it was decided Bloom's character and a number of
minor roles were not necessary to ensure it would be yet another box office smash for Disney," said a Disney insider to The Daily Star Sunday, a British tabloid.

At this point I would chalk this up to mere speculation, but what do I know!

I guess this mean the Pirates on Rambo IV are from POTC and bloom gets done in by J. Rambo...its merely speculation though..........

I heard that he gets killed by John McClane during a "sail by" cannoning in the second act of the film.
Wrong place, wrong time. But this is all just speculation.

Bloom's character is boring as hell to begin with, and Bloom has exactly lit up the big screen after leaving his LOTR character behind. He just doesn't have a screen presence.

No biggie, Jack Sparrow died in part 2...

Would anybody notice?

Orlando Bloom is as wooden as the ships he sails on in POTC, so no tears will be shed. Although, he was funny in this episode of Extras, playing himself. Hopefully, he dies in the beginning, so that Keira`s character can hook up with Jack by the end of the movie.

Why kill Will? What purpose would it serve?

wow such anymosity! I **KNOW** it was the worst movie of 2006, got terrible reviews, had horrible acting and effects but I halfway expected you guys to be a little LESS scathing when it came to attacking Bloom (and Pirates...AND Lord of the Rings!)
anyway I wasnt aware they were planning a 4th flick (only the two sequels) it would make a very nice trilogy... and thats that.
Period.

oh and bootsu, Sparrow actually (technically) died on part **1** also when he got the curse.

Jack Sparrow isn't dead, he's waiting in Davy Jones' Locker. See Wikipedia for confirmation.

I can't believe they're making a 4th movie after the 3rd. I was sure it would be a trilogy only. A 4th movie is really milking the frachise and would be killing whatever "joy" the 3 movies have built at that point.

I personally like Bloom's character. Without Turner around, Sparrow would just act on impulse and he would be dead before the ship left harbor.
