Orlando Bloom to quit 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series

While Knightley announced she will not be returning to shoot another movie with Bloom and Johnny Depp insisting her 'pirating days are over', sources close to Bloom say he wants to walk out of the franchise as producers wish to concentrate on Depp's character in the film, reports contactmusic.com.

"Orlando loved the films, but thinks it’s time to bow out because they tied up nicely for his character Will Turner. The producers are okay with that because they want to concentrate on the new adventures of Depp’s (character) Captain Jack Sparrow," said a source.
