"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" wouldn't be out until in the middle of next year, but the upcoming film has been bombarded with different issues involving cast members as well as issues with regards to the alleged production over spending.
According to Ecumenical News, the fifth instalment for "Pirates of the Caribbean" would still be about Captain Jack Sparrow and his search for the Trident of Poseidon. It is said that the captain is searching for the mystical artifact because it would serve as his protection from Captain Salazar and his ghost crew. The Trident of Poseidon would help Captain Jack Sparrow from getting killed by Captain Salazar in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales."
Aside from that, Will Turner's life would also be unravelled as his son Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites) would be introduced. Furthermore, aside from exploring Turner and the captain's adventures, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" would also be revolving around the father and son relationship of Will and Henry and how they would be able to patch things up.
The same publication also reported that the production of the movie was faced with a lot of issues because Johnny Depp has been very difficult to work with.
The actor has been experiencing marital issues during the beginning of the movie's production, and because of this, Depp's performance have been very inconsistent as well. Because of how poorly the actor has been holding up, rumor has it that Disney even considered switching the main star for the film.
Everyone thought that Orlando Bloom's Will Turner character would be the star of the upcoming movie, but because Captain Jack Sparrow has been the star since the very beginning, it is unlikely that fans would instantly accept the sudden change. It is said that fans will not easily favor the said change as the movie franchise became a blockbuster hit due to how well Depp portrayed the role of the troubled pirate.
Yahoo also reported that some crew members working with Depp complained that it has been a "nightmare." It is said that the actor would occasionally leave all of them waiting for his arrival on set, and sometimes the actor tends to leave without even notifying anyone like the time when Depp allegedly had a hand injury and had to fly to the US to get surgery. Due to the actor's sudden disappearance, the shooting for "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" was delayed for weeks.
Everyone understands that the actor is only acting out because he's experiencing a lot of problems with his marriage and with the process of his divorce to Amber Heard, but it is also expected that a veteran actor like Depp would have the decency to separate his personal life with his professional life.
