The movie stars Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa, Javier Bardem as the villainous Captain Salazar. Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario will play new characters and Orlando Bloom returns as Will Turner.

The movie has already wrapped production, but directors Espen Sandberg and Joachim Ronning will be tacking on an extra scene that will feature Paul McCartney.

Paul McCartney is not the first famed English rocker to appear in the Pirates movies. The Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards played Sparrow's dad in 'At World's End and On Stranger Tides'.
