I'm sure the Black Pearl will return in some capacity. We haven't seen the Sunset since 2013, so it may be possible, who knows? And it is disappointing that our favorite duo may not be returning to P5. Still, I do hold out hope that Disney will change their minds and include Pintel and Ragetti. I mean the movie doesn't come out for 2 years, for Calypso's sake! That's plenty of time to say, "What are we thinking?" and decide to include them.

...but hey, what's wishful thinking going to do.
