Ten years ago? Was At World's End really that long ago? 2017, and PotC 3, along with Shrek 3 and Spiderman 3, I distinctly remember those film series became trilogies in 2007... time does fly doesn't it? Ironic coz ten years is the magic number for captain of the Flying Dutchman walking on land

So this film might be non-canon? That... might explain a few things.
