Elliott is a veteran of the Pirates films, having penned the first four movies with his former partner Terry Rossio from 2003 to 2011.
He also wrote the original Aladdin, The Mask of Zorro, Shrek and the more recent dud The Lone Ranger.
Now The Hollywood Reporter brings word that the sixth film in the series has brought onboard screenwriters Ted Elliott and Craig Mazin to crack the story.
Should Disney make another Pirates film or quit while they’re ahead?
