Margot Robbie is seen for the first time since it was revealed she’s still in contention to star in female-led Pirates Of The Caribbean spinoff film as she grabs a coffee in London

Margot Robbie stepped out in London on Tuesday after it was revealed she’s still in contention to star in a female-led Pirates Of The Caribbean spinoff film.

The actress, 31, cut a casual figure and flashed her toned and tanned legs in sports shorts while grabbing a coffee.

It comes after Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed in an interview with The Sunday Times that he was in talks with Margot after Johnny Depp was confirmed to not be returning.

While out in London Margot teamed her black shorts with a navy Patagonia jumper and accessorised with a yellow cap.

She wore her long blonde tresses in loose waves over her shoulders and opted for a makeup free look as she got some light exercise.

The beauty was joined by her cute pet pooch for the walk in the sunshine.

It comes after Jerry, 78, confirmed that Robbie was still in talks to launch her own film in the series, while another script is in the works to reboot the main series.

But unless there’s a drastic change in original star Johnny Depp’s current reputation, he’s unlikely to be asked back to the series.

It currently holds an impressive 97 percent fresh rating from critics surveyed by Rotten Tomatoes, and many of the positive reviews describe it as being better than the 1986 original, which also starred Tom Cruise.

But while musing on some of the biggest male stars of the past few decades — including Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Chris Hemsworth — Bruckheimer said there were fewer female stars that carried the same weight at the box office.

‘Women are harder. It’s just not that strong a list yet,’ he said.

But the producer confirmed he was still working to get a new Pirates project off the ground with Margot.

‘Yes. We’re talking to Margot Robbie,’ he continued. ‘We are developing two Pirates scripts — one with her, one without.’

The Hollywood Reporter shared in June 2020 that Robbie was set to star in a spinoff film in the series written by Christina Hodson, who wrote her Harley Quinn film Birds Of Prey, which was a hit with critics but underperformed at the box office.

Considering the transitory nature of Hollywood projects, Bruckheimer’s confirmation that Robbie is still in talks suggests he’s serious about getting the new film made, though it’s unclear if Hodson is still attached after their superhero collaboration failed to light up the box office.
