"Pirates of the Caribbean 5" adds Paul McCartney

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" has an unlikely addition to the cast ensemble. As AceShowbiz reports citing Deadline, Paul McCartney has joined Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom for the latest Captain Jack Sparrow adventure.

Rumor has it, directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have decided to shoot an extra scene featuring McCartney. The role that the former member of The Beatles is playing is still kept under wraps.

The pirate movie is slated for a U.S. release on July 7, 2017. Depp and Bloom are back as Sparrow and Will Turner respectively while Javier Bardem is tapped to portray the big bad guy, Captain Salazar. Brenton Thwaites, Kaya Scodelario and Geoffrey Rush join the supporting cast. This time, Sparrow is on the hunt for the Trident of Poseidon.
