New actors are reportedly set to join the cast “Pirates of Caribbean 5.” The recent report has revealed that Adam Brown, Delroy Atkinson and Danny Kirrane have been roped in for the Disney film.

“Adam is a wonderfully expressive actor and has a unique screen presence,” Jackson said, according to Coming Soon. Meanwhile, Delroy is known for his role “Still Crazy,” and Danny is known for “Automata.” “Pirates of Caribbean 5’s” shooting will reportedly start in mid-February. Johnny Depp is set to reprise his role of Captain Jack Sparrow whereas Orlando Bloom could be back as Will Turner. Bloom is reportedly a big fan of Depp and this was one of the reasons why he decided to become the part of the franchise.

“I had a great time working with Johnny, one of the reasons I jumped at the opportunity was because Johnny was involved,” he said in one his previous interviews, reported Screen Rant. Meanwhile, Javier Bradman will reportedly play the main villain in the film and Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario will be seen as the leads, according to the website.

“Pirates of the Caribbean 5” has been officially titled as “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” The film is reportedly a soft reboot of the previous “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. There is not much known about the film’s plot details, though it is rumoured that it will be about a young man who wants to reconnect with his father.
