Now this may be a stretch to figure out. But having followed OST since 2008-ish, I've seen enough rumors to assume if they're true or not(well, some more than others). This one I will have to guess and say that this is likely a rumor.

First, paparazzis love a good story, however fake it most likely is, to tell...especially "actors are sell-out" stories! And second, if Johnny Depp was all about money, he wouldn't even have bothered saying stuff about how good the script had to be for him to come back as Jack...it wouldn't make a lick of sense. So having said all that, as well as the fact that not many "more reliable sources" are posting this, I'm in with saying it's a rumor.

''There's another thing that he read on a spanish site. I'm not pretty good in spanish, but I think I understood the essential. It says that Puerto Rico is a candidate for being one of the shooting place of Hunger Games 2 and... Pirates Of the Caribbean 5 ! But if those movies are going to be shoot at the same time, that means no Philip Swift in P5 since Sam Calflin just joined that cast of Hunger Games 2.''
 * This is where it gets crazy. First I should say that for about 2-3 years or so, it was thought that Pirates 4 would film in New Orleans, though it turns out things changed or, possibly, it was a rumor. So unless if a film is actually announced and pre-production has begun, it'd be hard to tell what is fact or fiction when it comes to things like filming locations. However, I will say that it's possible for them to film in Puerto Rico again because of two things: they filmed there before, so they could do it again, and...Puerto Rico is located in the Caribbean!(check the title of the movies lol)
 * As for the Sam Claflin bit, well...I guess that is a "only time will tell" sort of news. While it may or may not be true that both films will start production there, we know absolutely nothing regarding P5's progress outside of rewrites.

Just my view on the matter. Take all that from what you will.
