Disney is already known for its habit to revive old film that consequently brought back the "Star Wars" franchise, as well as live-action adaptations of classic Disney cartoons. In addition to its long-list of pending projects of revival, Disney has also decided to add "Pirates of Caribbean" to the list.

The new "Pirates of Caribbean" is said to feature many members of the original cast. First, Orlando Bloom's character of Will Turner was reported to be on top of its returnees. Meanwhile, recent reports have suggested that British actress Keira Knightley may be also joining the cast of the upcoming sequel "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales." TMZ has shared the news via Twitter, saying:

Thus, fans can expect Elizabeth Swann back on the big screen as it is only right that Will Turner is back as well. Many were a little disappointed that the latest film "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" did not include Keira Knightley or Orlando Bloom.

However, Cinema Blend reported that the filmmakers had previously stated that the upcoming sequel will feel much more like the original film, "The Curse of the Black Pearl". No confirmation was yet made official from Disney or any other sources on Keira Knightley's casting in the "Dead Men Tell No Tales". Many are still confident for TMZ presumably has some sources close to the project, so it can be possibly true after all.

Elizabeth and Will had a tragic, yet somewhat happy, ending. "At The World's End," Will was fatally stabbed by Davy Jones. In order for his life to be spared, he became the captain of The Flying Dutchman. Of course, this brought grave consequences on his relationship with Elizabeth. He can only be allowed to see his true love once every ten years, and the epilogue for "At The World's End" tells that Elizabeth and their son, who was also named Will, waiting as The Dutchman came to shore, according to Screen Crush.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" is expected to hit theaters May 26th, 2017.
