Latest News About Jerry Bruckheimer Epic

Here’s the latest on Jerry Bruckheimer and his projects that have surfaced recently.

• Pirates of the Caribbean and other franchise updates: In late 2024 and into 2025, Bruckheimer indicated that sequels for Top Gun, F1, and Pirates of the Caribbean were in development, with emphasis on having a strong script before moving forward and confirming ongoing involvement in Pirates 6 and potential National Treasure 3 discussions. This suggests active efforts to extend his core franchises, though exact release timelines remained fluid as of 2025–2026.[2][7]

• National Treasure 3 and related projects: The same period saw remarks that National Treasure 3 was inching forward, with confirmation that original director Jon Turteltaub and star Nicolas Cage were being considered to return, indicating a concrete path rather than mere rumors. There was also public indication that development discussions continued for related projects in the same universe.[2]

• Epic: The Musical / EPIC: The Odyssey adaptation news emerged in 2026, with reports that Jerry Bruckheimer is backing an animated film tied to a viral musical reinterpretation of The Odyssey, positioning him to explore a new, cross-media project that could become a feature film if studios and financiers line up.[3]

• Public-facing messaging and media appearances: Bruckheimer has given keynote appearances and interviews (e.g., 2025 conference remarks) where he previewed updates on Pirates 6, National Treasure 3, and related sequels, reinforcing that several major franchises remain active in development.[2]

Illustration: If you’re tracking momentum, a simple takeaway is that Bruckheimer maintains a multi-front development slate—two long-running film franchises (Pirates and National Treasure) plus fresh ventures around Top Gun-related spinoffs and a new Epic/ Odyssey project—without committing to firm release dates until scripts and production feasibility align.[3][2]
