Ah, the same old spoilers that aren't spoilers at all. Both J Fan and I have already seen all that in one form or another many times, and not just piled in one place but in all corners of the internet.
 * 1) Trident of Poseidon - Nothing spoiler-ish here, beause it was already rumored three years ago that the Trident would appear in this film, which was officially confirmed in February 2015.  Captain Teague was supposed to have some information on the Trident but that was never confirmed.
 * 2) Love interest - Again, it was reported three years ago that Jack Sparrow would fall in love with Kaya Scodelario's character Carina Smyth, who at the time was rumored to be Captain Barbossa's daughter. Seems like every pirate worth his salt must have a daughter. I'm just waiting to see Jacqueline "Jackie" Sparrow. ;) Other rumors claimed that Carina would fall for Jack, but he would reject her advances because he wouldn't want to risk Barbossa's wrath. Nothing surprising there.
 * 3) Comedy - That seems to be 'kinda new' but then again, every film in the series had a steady dose of comedic moments.
 * 4) Will Turner & Henry - The rumors of Will Turner's return to the series have been floating around ever since the crew began filming DMTNT in Australia so that's also nothing new. As for Henry being Mister Turner's son, that comes from Brenton Thwaites' almost two years old statement that the film is "about a young man who wants to reconnect with his father, Davy Jones" and "there's a curse that prevents him from doing that."   Of course, it didn't take long for many people to assume that 'Davy Jones' is Will Turner because he took Jones' place as Captain of the Flying Dutchman. But I would still take that 'fact' with a grain of salt because it was also reported that Thwaites' character is "A brash young British officer, Henry Maddox", who "will intercept Jack in his journey and fall head over heels for Carina in the process." Looks like Jack's going to have some competition in seducing Carina. And of course, let's not forget that Mister Turner is not the only Davy Jones-esque character in this film.
 * 5) Salazar's revenge for his brother's death - That's actually the remnant of a rumor from three years ago when the villain was called Captain John Brand. Played by Cristoph Waltz, Brand was supposed to be a ghost and a former member of the British military who is now sided with Captain Barbossa. That description later evolved into a ghost of a pirate hunter who believes that Jack turned his brother Eric into a pirate, which led to Eric's death. But every fairy tale must come to an end and Brand and Eric faded away and all that remained of that particular information is the ghost part. The villain is now known as Capitán Salazar, and as far as we know, he has no brother.
