User blog comment:Mr. Joshamee Gibbs/P5 : Philip Swift's return?/@comment-1984959-20120618233001

He seems to think he will be in it...
 * Quite honestly, I can't tell for sure...mostly because it's a written interview(anyone can write something, but no one can see a person's reaction in answering). But I'm sure he's at least thinking about it. Every person involved in these types of film does, especially given what impact Philip (and Syrena) gave to the films...even though the majority of it was admittedly critical.

The way I view Philip and Syrena is just how I feel about Will and Elizabeth...they're an OK part of the films, but not great like other characters(Gibbs, crew of the Black Pearl, etc). But I will say I enjoyed their presence as I have gotten use to some sort of lovey-dovey relationship in the side of the action and comedy between the protagonist and antagonist(thank you Star Wars and Harry Potter :P). It's probably better for me to say that I believe Philip and Syrena were an acceptable replacement of Will and Elizabeth in OST and beyond, as from the looks of things I don't think the CotBP-AWE will be returning to the films anytime soon(or at all).

But to the main question: Do I want Philip back in P5. Well, if you notice from my written statement above, I wouldn't mind seeing either Philip or Syrena again. It'll definitely answer the un-answered question at the end - What happened to them? Sure we can speculate and all, but some may be curious on the real story. But if they don't return, I won't be too upset about it.

Given as we don't know much on how P5 will play out, their return is, for now, uncertain.
