If I were you, I wouldn't believe any rumor unless if it was from Disney, Jerry Bruckheimer, or Depp himself. These "Russell Brand" rumors are most likely false, as it has been the same bit of rumors from Pirates 4. Plus even if there were also a rumor about Johnny wanting Megan Fox to be in Pirates 4...but it was false from the moment it was posted.

So basically, don't worry about all of that nonsense...as we are in the stage where EVERY news is 98% rumors. If anything prior to the film's official announcement, Pirates 4 would've had a steampunk pirate movie with Zac Efron as Jack's son.
