well, time will tell about JN, i'm a bit surprised because i always thought the writing of all pirates was really good and our 2 writers then always felt as essential as Johnny Depp to the franchise...... but I think it's safe to say you don't have to worry about the father/wedding issues, for several good reasons:

Regarding Indy, this situation works well as Indy's character arc and echoes some aspects of his relationship with his own father (that's one the reasons I do like indy4 by the way ;)! ), and most of all this was not Nathanson idea, every main ideas come from Lucas Spielberg etc then they hire the writer to.. just write the full script. So I don't think Nathanson is a wedding addict who want to marry everyone in every script lol ;)

Also, Jack is significantly different, I think everyone involved in the franchise has the clear idea in mind that our beloved egocentric pirate can't really fall in love and take a direction kinda similar to say mr will turner.... I remember even reading such things in itw last year. Watched Pirates 4 again today, and the end cleverly didn't cross the line in the funny last scene between jack and angelica, and I would say Angelica herself remains ambiguous in many ways, which would not help before starting to think of wedding! I hope my reasoning is still clear at this point :)

just hoping this news won't delay the release too much, I'm starting to miss good new pirates adventures!
