Lad, from what I have read until now, he didn't said "give me 90$ mil and I will come back". He said in October 2011 that if "they would have gave him the money in that moment (nee. during the interview in a way, figuratively) he will do it in that moment, because now it's more about his kids rather than him". He's doing for money, who wouldn't? But when you have kids too is hard to refuse, being a popular character too, and he loves his kids more than anything. Then again, just recently, from what I've read Disney WAS WILLING to give him 90$ mil. And IT'S WILLING.

He said that being captain Jack it's a part of him, and a big part of his career, and if in the 4th one he received 35$ mil for reprising the role and had that huge succes, that means that doing a 5th one Disney (and now this is my opinion not something he stated) needs to consider giving him a lot more that the previous because as he said "he dosen't want to sell his image like John Travolta or Nic. Cage".

The money thing was disputed about a month ago, and rumors existed from that time that he will be payed a lot more than he was before. I've read a news about it and I know.

And about the movie, I read that there are two titles proposed ( "Beyond the seas" and "Lost Abyss"), that the script is still in work, as it was told by Rob Marshall and Jerry B, and that they don't have a director yet. Disney is shipping for Gore Verbinski, but Rob Marshall signed a 2 year contract, so it's a possibility that he may return too. It's still uncertain. There were some rumors that maybe Tim Burton or Alfonso Cuaron have a slight chance to direct, but I read on a blog that they declined the request, though I didn't found the official article where they declined, so it's not a "canonical" source. Oh, and Sam Claffin (the Philip guy from fourth) will be interested in coming back in a fifth and Orlando Bloom the same if the producers want to.

Still, keep an eye on the news and write if you find something new. Sorry for my bad english and for such a long post but I wanted to write everything I know to be understanded.

Here are some sources that admit that he signed for a fifth deal:
