Nobody saw this coming.

Paul McCartney might be better known for ‘Blackbird’, but it looks like he’ll be hanging out with a Sparrow on our screens in 2017.

According to Deadline, Paul McCartney is set to feature in the latest instalment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Dead Men Tell No Tales.

It’s as yet unclear what role McCartney will play in the film, but it has been reported that his addition to the cast didn’t require any old scenes to be reshot – suggesting that he will feature in an added scene.

The movie is slated for released on May 26, 2017.
