“Skins” and “The Maze Runner” actress Kaya Scodelario has been cast in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” producer Jerry Bruckheimer announced on Twitter.
The English actress joins Johnny Depp and Australian rising star Brenton Thwaites as confirmed members of the cast of what would be the fifth installment in the Pirates franchise. Javier Bardem is in talks to play the villain.
Shooting on “Dead Men Tell No Tales” is scheduled to begin next month in Australia. The film will be helmed by Norwegian directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg and Disney confirmed that the film will be released on July 7, 2017.
Scodelario has recently finished filming the sequel to The Maze Runner in New Mexico. So she’ll be pleased to be jetting off to Queensland, Australia, next month when production gets under way on Pirates 5.
Scodelario is engaged to marry Benjamin Walker, an actor who she met while working on The Moon And The Sun.
