Diseny sent out a press release earlier this afternoon with a schedule update for thier upcoming films. Within the release came the announcement of release dates for Pirates of the Caribbean 5, Muppets 2, Brad Bird's secretive sci-fi project 1952. On top of that, there are a couple shuffles, and 3D confirmations for the upcoming Marvel films.
I think it's easier to just let the press release speak for itself, as it sums it up better than I probably could!

· MUPPETS 2 is produced by Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman and directed by James Bobin. The screenplay is by Bobin and Nick Stoller, who will also serve as executive producer. The cast includes Ricky Gervais and Ty Burrell – and of course, the whole Muppets gang.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER (Marvel) will be available in 3D.

MALEFICENT is now dated on 7/2/14 (from 3/14/14).

There you have it. Pirates 5 is definitely moving forward and inching into an already packed 2015 Summer. I'm interested to see how well it can compete with Avengers 2, Star Wars Episode VII, Justice League and a slew of other things. I could care less about the confirmations of the films coming out in 3D, but hey, they're still trying to make it work.
How do you guys feel about Pirates 5 in 2015?
