In the four movies thus far released in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, there have been several interesting casting coups. The one that people seem to talk about the most, however, was the choice in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End to cast rock guitarist Keith Richards as the father of Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow. (Partly because Johnny Depp had reportedly based Jack Sparrow on Keith Richards). The fifth film in the franchise will be next year’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which Disney has scheduled for May 26, 2017, and started filming in Australia last year. This week, we learned that Disney and directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg (Kon-Tiki) have decided to resume filming to introduce a new character. That character will be played by Paul McCartney, whose nature hasn’t been revealed yet, except that he will be the center of an “extra big set piece.” The most obvious significance of Paul McCartney joining Pirates of the Caribbean is that he brings The Beatles to a franchise that already had one of the Rolling Stones. Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, and Orlando Bloom are all returning for this fifth film, and they will be joined by new characters played by Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites, Kaya Scodelario, and David Wenham.

Moving this to Movies & TV Shows, because we actually don't have a proper thread for the movie as a whole, so we might as well.

 

Looking forward to this movie. Yeah, it's been going on for quite a while, and I'm sure people would rather Disney just bury the movies once and for all, but I'm going to be optimistic, especially since Orlando Bloom is back.

This is the first I'm hearing of this movie, didn't know they were making another one. Awesome.

The structure of Pirates of the Carribean operates on the 1/2 Story structure.

 

The 1/2 structure is a trilogy of stories in which the first story stands on its own and the second and third work in tandem with each other.

 

In this case:

 

Curse of the Black Pearl=I

 

Dead Man's Chest+At World's End=II

 

The trilogy above me focused on Orlando Bloom's character and, as such, the second trilogy focuses more on Jack Sparrow's character.

 

This trilogy starts with:

 

On Stranger Tides=I

 

Dead Men Tell No Tales+Sequel=II

 

I hope that makes sense, as this is why we haven't heard of the sequel for awhile. Mostly becvause the script they are writing is designed for two movies.
