Christoph Waltz and Rebecca Hall in talks for Pirates of the Caribbean 5 roles?

Disney will once again set sail with a fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie when Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales hits theaters in 2016. Some new casting news about the movie has now surfaced and it features a name very familiar to fans of Quentin Tarantino films.

Daily Mail reports that Keith Richards has officially committed to reprise his role as Captain Teague and that Christoph Waltz (who has made his name in Tarantino's films Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained) could play the villain in the movie. But Bleeding Cool tells everyone to hold their horses with regard to the Daily Mail report.

"I know what their source is on this, and I can tell you, the Waltz part is nothing like a done deal," the site reports. "Indeed, I'd call their story hearsay."

Waltz is up for the part of Captain Brand, the main bad guy in the film. The plot of Pirates of the Caribbean 5 focuses on a race between Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp, who is a lock to return for the lead role in the franchise) and Captain Brand as they hunt for the magical object known as The Trident. Brand also holds a grudge against Jack for leading his brother, Eric, into the pirates' life, which eventually got him killed.

Bleeding Cool also reports that Disney is interested in Rebecca Hall (Iron Man 3) for the part of Carina Smyth, the new love interest for Jack and the daughter of Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). Carina is an astronomer whom everyone thinks is a witch because of her scientific prowess.
