A pirate’s life for Sir Paul

In perhaps the most bizarre piece of casting news of the year so far, it has been confirmed that Sir Paul McCartney will have a cameo role in adventure sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The legendary former Beatle ( pictured, right) follows in the footsteps of Rolling Stones icon Keith Richards, who appeared earlier in the franchise.

Meanwhile, British thespian Charles Dance has joined the cast of blockbuster sequel Godzilla: King of the Monsters, due for release in March 2019.
