In an interview, producer Jerry Bruckheimer stated that Norrington was originally slated to only appear in The Curse of the Black Pearl, but due to the positive audience reaction towards the character, and his respect for Davenport, he made him a prominent character in the sequels Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.
- Finde ich sehr gut, weil ich die Figur ebenfalls sehr, sehr gerne mag. Bin froh, das sie ihn zurückgeholt haben.
Norrington has appeared in several deleted scenes from Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. + Er sollte in 'At Worlds End' eine größere Rolle spielen, was aber wieder gestrichen wurde.

This included a sort of friendship with Davy Jones, due to their mutual dislike of working for Beckett; which might explain why Jones offered a place in his crew before Norrington died.
