The 37-year-old star said the next movie Pirates of Caribbean: Dead Men Tells No Tales is eyeing to cast five young female actors, who will have a major role in the film, reported Ace Showbiz quoting IGN.

"I'm not entirely sure that I'll be back just yet, but there are talks. Basically they want to reboot the whole franchise, I think, and do something with me and the relationship with my son," Bloom said.

The Hobbit star will be seen playing the role of Davey Jones, villain of the third instalment, in the next part of the film.

"I'm of course Davey Jones now, so I'm down the bottom of the ocean. It might be kind of fun to do something where I'm rumbling round the bottom of the ocean, because I won't look anything like me. Get all gnarly," he added.

The production for the film will start early next year in Australia. Hollywood star Johnny Depp will be back to play his role as Jack Sparrow, while actor Geoffrey Rush, who played the role of Barbosa, is also expected to return.
