Russell Brand was recently running amok in the MTV studios and eventually someone brought up the rumour that he was to play Jack Sparrow’s brother in a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film.
“There’s been some talk of doing a ‘Pirates’ movie,” Russell told Billy Bush for AccessHollywood.com and “The Billy Bush Show.” “But, I’ve got eight other things to do [including] ‘Get Him To The Greek’ with Judd Apatow… So I don’t know if there’ll be time to be a pirate, I’ve got enough of that in me private life.”
In “Greek,” Brand would reprise his character Aldous Snow from Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
I really like that he is doing his Snow character from Sarah Marshall. I really liked that character.
I also think he would fit the Pirates franchise perfectly, and I hope that if they do bring about another film that he is involved. Dare I say they could do pirates without Depp if they can get a likable character with as much personality, but we know that Disney will wait on Depp, and Johnny has already said he would do as many Pirates films as they wanted because he enjoyed the role so much.
