If rumours are to be believed, Michelle Keegan could be heading to Hollywood.

The popular British star is apparently in talks to appear in a future Pirates of the Caribbean movie alongside Johnny Depp - at least, that's what Now! magazine is claiming.

"Sources" say that Michelle was in Los Angeles for a chat with producers, who are keen on her.

She wouldn't be starring in this year's Pirates of the Caribbean (sub-titled Dead Men Tell No Tales or Salazar's Revenge, depending on where you live), but the one after that if production goes ahead in 2018.

Michelle's reps have declined to comment.

The former Coronation Street actress has kept herself busy recently, wowing viewers on Our Girl and starring in the Tina and Bobby Moore biopic, which begins this Friday.

One familiar person on TV who will be starring in Dead Men Tell No Tales/Salazar's Revenge is Skins veteran Kaya Scodelario.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Kaya teased that movie number five in the franchise will feel similar to the first film.

"It [does have] a lot more of the first movie, that's what they wanted to bring it back to," she said.

"[The producers] want to take it back to the beginning again. They wanted it to have this epic journey, and for it to make sense, and for it to tie things up, and also lead to new storylines."

Depp, Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites, Geoffrey Rush and Orlando Bloom are also among the stars.

No word on whether or not Keira Knightley will be back, though.
