What would a PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN film be without its male leads? Probably nothing. Fortunately for us, Orlando Bloom is officially back for the next chapter of Jack Sparrow and Will Turner's stories.

Among Disney's many announcements and unveilings at the D23 Expo this weekend, was news of a fifth PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN film. Even better for PIRATES fans, both Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom will be returning to the franchise.

Included in the presentation at the Disney conference, was a surprise visit by Johnny Depp, who showed up on stage completely DECKED OUT as Captain Jack Sparrow, brought down the house and thrilled fans at Sean Bailey's presentation of the next exciting film in the "Pirates of the Caribbean " franchise, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales."

Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil's Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea...including him. Captain Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful ARTIFACT that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.

The film is directed by Espen Sandberg & Joachim Rønning and stars Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites, Kevin R. McNally, Kaya Scodelario, Golshifteh Farahani, Stephen Graham, David Wenham and Geoffrey Rush. Jerry Bruckheimer is the producer and Chad Oman, Mike Stenson, Joe Caracciolo, Jr. and Brigham Taylor serve as executive producers. Jeff Nathanson wrote the screenplay. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" releases in U.S. theaters on July 7, 2017.
