Daily Blind Item — Franchise Without Star
It’s one of the biggest franchises in the world and every single instalment has starred this A list actor in the main role, but we’re hearing that partnership is coming to a swift end.
‘Rebooting,’ says a source, ‘but without him and his big old paycheck.’
It’s going to be a tough job to replace the eponymous star, especially in another hollow reboot.
So, tell me, Gossipers:
What is our franchise?
Who is our actor?

Could go either way. Will have to see the reviews before I go and see it.

Will this one star a Hemsworth brother or Jai Courtney too? It seems like they’re the first choices for every reboot in the 2010’s.

Chris obviously didn’t learn from the Ghostbusters fiasco judging by his participation in the Men In Black spin-off.

I like the idea of Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson as leads, but I hope they don’t go down the generic route of fun-loving man and miserable professional woman like in Jurassic World.

Apparently Daniel Craig is all signed up. Strange how it hasn’t started filming yet.

Pushed back again. Until Rachel Weisz gives birth…

Daniel Craig is clearly a modern man: choosing his life partner over another misogynistic movie. Kudos to him.

Anyone else think that baby’s got BAND-AID written all over it? They waited so long. Could be they were doing IVF all along but it doesn’t seem like it.

Daniel Craig is a well known friend of Dorothy, dear. That sham of a marriage was a quick cover-up after Mr. Masculine was seen in a gay club.

Yes, dear. The part is to be played by a biracial non-binary.

You say that as if it is the worst possibility in the universe, when in fact it would breathe modern life into a dying, misogynistic franchise. Sexist.

I have my problems with the Bond series, but your satirical mocking of feminists is so tired.

You forgot refugee – they need to be a biracial, non-binary refugee or it just doesn’t get greenlit.

It needs to be the Terminator Series. Enough of Arnold’s leathery surgery face.

Pirates of the Caribbean. Disney finally cutting ties with the overpaid, overrated and overexposed Johnny Depp. Like they should have done in 2011.

I actually like the idea of POTC getting back to basics with Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley…

Dang. That’s totally the direction they’re going with and now I’m invested and excited again. The pale Elizabeth and Will replacements in the last couple instalments just did nothing to me!

Could the Mission: Impossible series be dissociating from the unhinged and expensive Tom Cruise, dears? That would be a very interesting turn.

That would mean favoring ethics over box office and I think we both know how unlikely that is.

Replace him with Nicole Kidman or Leah Remini. Send the Scientologists into Jonestown territory.

I like dj’s idea of POTC. “Swift” is a type of sparrow, isn’t it? Also, maybe Iron Man – reboot and hollow makes me think of the Iron Man suit. And that would be as eponymous as the pirate in POTC.
