Paul McCartney shared a photo in costume as his new character on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. He was quietly added for reshoots in Vancouver last year. That makes two iconic 1960s rockers in the franchise — Paul McCartney of The Beatles as an undisclosed character and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones as Captain Teague, Jack Sparrow’s father.

In Pirates of the Caribbean 5, Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) searches for Poseidon’s trident while pursued by evil Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem).
Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites), Joshamee Gibbs (Kevin McNally), Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and Carina Smyth (Maze Runner’s Kaya Scodelario) round out the characters. Most of principal photography was done on Australia’s Gold Coast.

Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg are directing the film and Jerry Bruckheimer producing it.
Additional photography for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales took place last Spring in North Vancouver, mainly in North Shore Studios and a new set constructed at Seaspan Shipyards.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales will be in theatres this month, in wide release on May 26th.
