"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" is set to be released in the middle of next year, and according to some reports, a lot of new faces would be seen in the upcoming film.
Reports stated that the 5th installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" would not only be a sequel but it would also serve as a reboot for the film. Now that it has been almost 13 years since the "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" premiered, Disney decided to cast younger actors for the upcoming reboot in order to attract younger audience as well.
According to Christian Daily, as of now, only 2 new actors for "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" were announced. Kaya Scodelario is casted as the new female lead in the upcoming film and she would play the role of an astronomer named Carina Smyth; however, details about her character's part in the film is still unknown. Some speculations stated that Carina Smyth may be the new love interest of Jack Sparrow.
Brenton Thwaites would also be a part of the film, as he would play the role of Henry, Will turner's son. According to reports, Henry would try to reconnect with his father in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales."
The same publication stated that Disney casted new actors for the lead roles in the upcoming film in order to introduce the next generation of actors for the succeeding "Pirate of the Caribbean" instalments, although we all know that if Disney decides to remove or replace the role of the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow, the movie will never be the same.
In other news, despite all the controversy about Johnny Depp, producers of "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise is confident that those negative news would not affect the promotion of the upcoming film.
According to Mail Online, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" is now labeled as one of the highest budgeted films. Originally, Disney alongside Jerry Bruckheimer set $250 million as their budget for the film, but with all the delays in the production which are mostly caused by Depp's feud with his estranged wife Amber Heard, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" has reached almost half a billion dollars in production.
Although a lot of money is at stake, Bruckheimer is positive that the film would be a blockbuster hit again, and eventually, they would be able to recover the huge amount of money that they have spent.
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell no Tales" is set to premiere on May 26, 2017.
