The announcement was revealed at Disney’s D23 expo after the star himself had previously expressed uncertainty as to whether he would join Johnny Depp in the next film.

Bloom was missing from the for the fourth movie On Stranger Tides back in 2011, which came as a surprise as he had played Will Turner, one of the franchise’s central characters, in the first three movies since 2003.
