It's still expected to happen, but Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Lies isn't a done deal yet, it seems...
Now this is a little bit of a surprise. Whilst we don't know too many people eagerly awaiting the next instalment in the Pirates Of The Caribbean cinematic saga, particularly off the back of the last three films, the movies have still proven to be big money makers. Pirates Of The Caribbean 4, for instance, took over $1bn at the worldwide box office.
Thus, when the mooted Pirates Of The Caribbean 5, which will see Johnny Depp reprise the role of Captain Jack Sparrow, was put back from its original 2015 release date, we figured it was just a slight delay. As it turns out though, Disney boss Bob Iger has revealed that the film hasn't even got a green light yet.
That's in spite of the fact that directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg are apparently on board the film, and also in spite of the fact that the film appears to have a title - Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Lies.
We still suspect that the green light is coming - this films make too much money for it not to be - but perhaps Disney has realised that it might not get away with another poor movie in this particular saga. We can but hope.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Lies is still expected to be released in 2016. But for the first time, there might just be a little bit of doubt about that...
