Megan Fox In “Pirates Of The Caribbean 4?”

Megan wants to be a Pirate….

Now that her tumultuous tenure in the Transformers series is kaput, Megan Fox has her eye on a new bombshell role in another box office-slaying franchise: Fox is in chats to join Oscar nominee Johnny Depp and Academy Award winner Penelope Cruz in the next Pirates of the Caribbean flick.

Disney chiefs are reportedly on the hunt for an actress to play a sexy mermaid in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides — opening next year — and a newly-unemployed Megan is itching to land the role.

“Megan is mulling over a number of big movie offers including another sci-fi franchise and a role in the next Pirates of the Caribbean,” an informant at Mouse Headquarters tattled to Britain’s Daily Mirror Wednesday. “She would play a mermaid who charms Captain Jack but she has a dark motive.”

Former Pirates stars Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom jumped ship on the series late last year, but teaming up on the silver screen with Johnny Depp is something Megan has always dreamt of, says a snoop.

“Megan has always loved Johnny and is desperate to work with him. She’s grateful to Transformers for making her name but she’s ready to move on to better and bigger things.”
