Orlando Bloom sinks Pirates

Jan 28, 2010, 13:03 GMT

Orlando Bloom will not return to 'Pirates of the Caribbean' because his character is dead to him.

The British actor, who played good guy William Turner in the swashbuckling flick, has no plans to return to the franchise, despite a clamour for his reprisal.

He said: "No, I'm definitely not returning. William Turner is sort of swimming around with the fish at the bottom of the ocean."

Although the 33-year-old star won't be joining Johnny Depp in the new movie, Orlando had a blast making the previous films.

He added: "I had a great time making those movies. I just really wanted to do different things, but I think it's going to be great. Whatever Johnny does, I think it's fantastic."

Orlando is the second star of the franchise to confirm he won't be in the next instalment of the series.

Keira Knightly - who plays Elizabeth Swan - has also stated she won't be returning.

Lead character Captain Jack Sparrow - played by Johnny - is returning for the fourth movie, entitled 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides'.

It has been suggested the actor will receive at least £21 million for reprising the role.
