I've never really felt I'm done with playing the character, so why shouldn't we try a fourth and a fifth?

As confirmed earlier, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom will not return in another POTC movie (so far, anyway). But this, in no way, stops another Pirates movie to be made. All they need is Johnny Depp in order to continue the story.

Rumors, on various sites (One of which claims to have a source. However, these sources may, or may not, be real.), state that Pirates of the Caribbean 4's (if it happens) start date will more then likely be between 2009 and 2012 (depends on where you go to read rumors surrounding the movie).

Some rumors include a Jack going into the world of science fiction (some ideas include a search/finding/race to the lost city of Atlantis, while others include flying ships), more information about Jack's past and his family, and possibly another trilogy. While others include Will Turner dying in the next movie, and that Johnny Depp has already signed on to a fourth movie, and that we may have another trilogy in store.

But aside from rumors, there have been several interviews that seem to point to at least talks of a Pirates of the Caribbean 4 coming to life.

Terry Rossio, in an interview where a question about a fourth movie was asked, said:

I can't say if we'll be able to solve the challenge of making a good fourth film, or if our screenplay will be enough to get a film made.

Mark Zoradi had something to say on the idea of a Pirates 4 as well:

Jerry Bruckheimer, when asked whether or not there will be a Pirates 4 said the following:

And Gore Verbinski, when asked if he was planning on doing a Pirates 4 said:

There is one more factor that needs to be considered when the question "Will there be another Pirates of the Caribbean move movie?" is asked. If enough money can be made out of it, and as long as they have Johnny Depp to play Jack Sparrow, I could almost guarantee that another movie will be made.

But Pirates doesn't stop at movies. My bet is that at some point in time an animated series based off of Pirates of the Caribbean will be aired.
