There was a lot of exciting D23 news for Disney fans to get excited about after the Expo last week. Now, all D23 news is exciting as it’s Disney – what isn’t exciting about Disney?! But we have compiled all the D23 news you need to know!

Here’s the synopsis for the film:
“Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar, escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea…including him. Captain Jack’s only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.”
