20 Hugely Unexpected Roles In Upcoming Movies
10. Paul McCartney (Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales)
The Role: The exact nature of the former Beatle's role is currently unknown, except that an additional set-piece for the movie was shot after principal photography wrapped, and the sequence will revolve largely around McCartney's character.
Why It's Unexpected: Though McCartney won't be the first legendary musician to join the franchise after Keith Richards played Jack Sparrow's father in the third and fourth film, his list of acting credits are extremely small and selective, so this is most certainly a surprise.
Will It Work?: If it's being shot this late in production then it could very well be a throwaway post-credits song or something to that effect. It surely won't have much basis in the plot, but it'll probably be fun seeing McCartney let loose all the same.
