Keith Richards in next Pirates of The Caribbean

London, (ANI): Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards is apparently set to reprise his role opposite Johnny Depp in the next Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.

Depp has long credited the guitarist with inspiring his popular character Captain Jack Sparrow in the franchise. Richards joined the cast to play the actor's on-screen father in the third installment of the movie series, At World's End, in 2007.

Now, he is set to return as Captain Teague in the forthcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which is currently being filmed in London, according to a foreign new agency. The movie is set for release next year, the Daily Star reports.
