Now, speaking to Screen Rant, Bruckheimer has confirmed "some" erstwhile Pirates of the Caribbean actors volition so beryllium backmost for the adjacent installment, contempt the movie inactive offering "a caller take" connected the franchise overall.

When asked whether a caller instrumentality meant an all-new cast, Bruckheimer replied: "Well, not each caller actors. We'll person immoderate back... I’m not going to archer you which ones — you'll person to guess."
