Orlando Bloom has squashed any remaining hope that he might return for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

MTV spoke to the actor during the Sundance Film Festival and Bloom made it very clear that he will not be reprising his role as Will Turner, the good guy turned immortal captain of the Flying Dutchman.

“No, definitely not,” he said when asked if he’d return for the fourth Pirates movie, which will star Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. “I think Will is sort of swimming around with the fish at the bottom of the ocean.”

Bloom went on the explain that he simply wanted to do other things. “I had a great time making those movies,” he said. “I just really wanted to do different things, but I think it’s going to be great. Whatever Johnny does, I think it’s fantastic.”

And he is eager to see what happened when director Rob Marshall (Chicago, Nine) takes the helm. “I think he’s an amazing director,” Bloom said. “I think it will be a very interesting fit, because Johnny is musical anyway and I’m sure that something really beautiful will come out of it.”

Keira Knightley, who played Turner’s love interest, Elizabeth Swann, said back in 2008 that her “pirating days are over.”

One role Bloom would like to revise is that of Legolas, the Elven archer he played in The Lord of the Rings movies. He told MTV he had contacted producer Peter Jackson about the possibility. “I shot an e-mail to Pete and I said, ‘You know, if you want me to don the blonde wig and pointy ears again, I’d be honored to do it,’” Bloom told MTV. “He said, ‘Well, we’ll see.’ They’re very, very hush-hush.”

It’s unlikely, however, that Bloom’s services will be needed for The Hobbit, which will be directed by Guillermo del Toro, as Legolas does not appear in the story by J.R.R. Tolkien, which is the prequel to the Rings books.
