Fan Theories about PotC 5 Dead Men Tell No Tales

A few months ago, Disney announced that the 5th installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series will be released in 2016. They've been releasing plot teases and some of the cast list ever since, and fans have been making theories as they get released. The theories that follow are either my own or by my fellow pirates. 

1. The Cabin Boy is actually Will and Elizabeth's son. 

Robbie Kay (who some of you might know from Once Upon a Time) will reprise his role of the cabin boy from Pirates 4. This is a likely theory, but my one problem with it is that the filmmakers don't specify how much time passed between the end of Pirates 3 and the start of Pirates 4. He could be their kid, but he could be an orphan. We will have to wait 2 years to find out. 

2. Witches are coming. 

This isn't a fan theory, but more of a leaked possible plot point. They kinda went this route with the addition of Tia Dalma in Pirates 2, but  it could work. I mean, the title is 'dead men tell no tales' for gods sake. And speaking of dead men....

3. James Norrington is returning to the land of the living. 

When the news of Pirates 5 was first released, they hinted that a member of the Royal Navy would return as a ghost to go for revenge with Barbossa. And on IMDb, it is rumored that Jack Davenport will reprise his role as James Norrington. I'm intrested in how they work him into the plot. Personally, I'm hoping for a new love intrest. 

4. Things I hope will happen

I've heard that their giving Jack a new love intrest that might or might not be Barbossa's daughter. It seems like a good idea, but audiences didn't really like the last love intrest they gave Jack. I'm just hoping they do a better job this time. I'm also kinda hoping they give James a happy ending. I.. I'll just be so happy if they do that. 

If it wasn't obvious already, one of the main reasons I'm gonna see this movie is James Norrington. If they really want to surprise me, they will bring back Lieutenant Groves and Gillette as well, but I don't see that happening. 

(P. S. I might be doing movie reviews on the first four movies when it gets closer to the release date. )
