10 Ridiculous Upcoming Movie Performances That Sound Like Jokes

You might recall that time when Keith Richards turned up in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie and everyone thought it was mildly amusing because, remember, Johnny Depp partly based the character of Captain Jack Sparrow on the infamous Rolling Stone.

That doesn't explain, though, why in the next Pirates of the Caribbean film Sir Paul McCartney - from The Beatles, yeah? - has a cameo role. According to reports, the singer/songwriter is going to play a part in a big action sequence.

I don't think anybody knows, including Paul McCartney, why he's suddenly found himself as a character in Dead Men Tell No Tales. Maybe he saw that Elton John was going to do a little thing in Kingsman 2 and got jealous or something.

Anyway, there is literally zero information out there regarding what this role actually involves - all we know is that it's definitely happening, unlike McCartney's modern music career.
