Brenton Thwaites Cast in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 5
Brenton Thwaits, who recently starred in The Giver, has been cast alongside Johnny Depp in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Thwaites is a very talented young actor, and if cast, he will take on the role of a character named Henry.
The report also says that Javier Bardem will be playing the film’s villain, Captain Brand. According to The Wrap, Brand is a ghost that is hellbent on getting revenge against Captain Jack Sparrow. Apparently he blames Sparrow for his brother's death.
Geoffrey Rush is returning to the franchise as Captain Barbossa, and there are rumors that Orlando Bloom could return as William Turner as well.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is set to be shot in Queensland, Australia, and it’s being directed by the talented Kon-Tiki helmers, Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.
I’m actually looking forward to this one because I think the directors will be able to give us something different and fresh. The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 7th, 2017.
