Keith Richards, the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist credited with inspiring Johnny Depp's buccaneer in "Pirates of the Caribbean," will be in the franchise's next film, its producer said.

Richards will appear in "Pirates of the Caribbean: At the World's End," acclaimed producer Jerry Bruckheimer said during a Walt Disney Corporation press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Depp, the actor who plays the roguish Captain Jack Sparrow in the films, has gone on record describing how the rascally but likeable character was crafted in the image of Richards.

Bruckheimer said he was leaving for Hawaii on Tuesday to finish filming the latest "Pirates," and he provided the audience with a glimpse at completed action scenes.

"Keith Richards is going to be in the third Pirates," Bruckheimer said. "You'll have to see the movie to see if he is playing the guitar."
