16 Dec – Five young and talented actresses are reportedly being eyed by Disney to take on the female lead role in the upcoming "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales".

Details on the character that one of them will end up playing on the silver screen are unclear, but she is said to be the love interest of "Maleficent" actor Brenton Thwaites' character, Henry, a young British soldier who joins forces with Captain Jack Sparrow.

Other actors confirmed on board of the fifth franchise are Johnny Depp who once again reprises his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, Geoffrey Rush who will be returning as Captain Barbossa and Javier Bardem who will play the role of a new villain named Captain Brand.
