Disney has yet to officially promote its much-awaited film, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales." But for the past several months, the movie has already earned both positive and negative publicities - from its cast down to the production of the film.

Before delving into the recent rumors that are plaguing "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales," the past speculations have something to do with the rumored conflict between veteran "Pirate" franchise actors, Orlando Bloom (Will Turner) and Johnny Depp (Capt.
