Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" is all set to be released next year and its lead actors continue to be subject of rumors, particularly Johnny Depp. There have been a lot of talks surrounding Depp and his behavior during the filming of the movie.
According to reports, the actor has become difficult to deal with following his marriage troubles with Amber Heard. Depp's personal problems have affected his attitude at work and this reportedly caused the delay of the film. There were even talks about Depp's co-star Orlando Bloom taking the lead spot in "Pirates of the Caribbean 5." However, Movie News Guide reported that the former continues to shine as the lead since Disney is said to be aware of Depp's charisma.
In addition, there were reports suggesting that Disney decided to continue working with Depp despite the issues because the company is simply waiting for the actor to settle his marital problems. Giving Bloom and his character Will Turner the spotlight in the "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" could harm not only the success of "Dead Men Tell No Tales" but also the entire franchise. Bloom may excel in his role as Will, but Depp continues to be the main star of the show.
Although rumors suggest that Depp has caused the delay of the completion of the "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" film, it might not have to do with his marriage to Heard. Global Dispatch reported that Depp sustained a hand injury and this reportedly contributed to the delay of the filming.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 5" is expected to premiere in May 2017. The story will focus on Jack Sparrow (Depp) as he goes on a search for the Trident of Poseidon. This mysterious artifact could be the key to saving his life and stopping Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) and his ghost crew from killing him.
