No one knows. They could either be dead or stuck in the bottle with Jack the Monkey and Cotton's Parrot. The crew's fate wasn't made clear, which I'm ok with as there would be some fans who would miss Pintel, Ragetti, Marty, Cotton, etc(myself included)...thereby if they be needed for the sequel. But then, their fate is not known, so we'll have to see when it comes out or at least during production(thanks to the paparazzi lol).
