I think what could work with Will Turner in P5 would definitely be a few scenes, sort of a cameo but maybe slightly more, similar to the capacity of James Norrington's role in AWE. I think it would be practically impossible to pull off having him as a main character without having Elizabeth come back... But I can understand why they brought him back, from a financial perspective. P4's ratings weren't the best (I personally didn't enjoy the film that much), and well... we all know how unsuccessful the Lone Ranger was (given how little grossing it made...even though I thought it wasn't a very bad movie!); so I can understand why they've recruited a high profile actor in Orlando, but then I guess you could say there are a lot of fish in the ocean. For instance they could get say, Martin Freeman? To play a new character. There are plenty of options out there, but I can understand the franchise seeking a big actor to sell movie tickets. But without doubt the statistics prove Orlando is one of those actors.

But be surety that Will Turner will indeed come back though, as there is just as much evidence of his return than there is for a lot of other 'confirmed' things. You're the admin so at the end of the day it's your say as to whether it gets added into the articles, but in my opinion, there's just as much evidence that Will is returning than there's that of Marty.
