User blog comment:J Fan/Shanghai Disneyland’s Treasure Cove Revealed, Fifth Film Still Uncertain/@comment-2191897-20140401052806

At Least Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales has not been cancelled. It has only been delayed possibly to May 2017 or July 2017, due to the script still being worked on and the Disney Execs, Johnny Depp, the Directors and Jerry Bruckheimer still having yet to read and hopefully approve of the script. The script has been in the process of being re-written since September 10th 2013. So of course it is going to be a while, before we officially find out if Pirates 5 is happening or not. We're not going to find out officially if it will be happening, until possibly sometime in 2015 if I had to guess. It did take Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott almost 3 years (September 2008 - To Sometime before June 2010) to write Pirates 4's script if I remember correctly.
