"Pirates of the Caribbean 5" spoilers and news reveal that up and coming actors are lining up for the coveted role of Henry. Meanwhile, "Maleficent's" Brenton Thwaites has a big chance to beat out "The Fault in our Stars" actor Ansel Elgort for the role.

According to Deadline's "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" spoilers and news, the actors who are on the shortlist to play Henry (aside from Thwaites and Elgort) include Taron Egerton of the "Kingsman: The Secret Service; Mitchell Hope of the "Descendants;" Sam Keely of "In the Heart of the Sea;" and George MacKay of "Pride."

Meanwhile, Screencrush said the race might be between "Maleficent's" Brenton Thwaites and "The Fault in our Stars" actor Ansel Elgort to bag the role of Henry.

"Our money's on Thwaites, who kind of already has the vaguely Orlando Bloom thing going on and could easily step into a role clearly intended to replace his character," it said. "Weirdly, all of these actors have names way more interesting than Henry."

According to the "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" spoilers and news by JBG News, there might be multiple villans to threaten Captain Jack Sparrow.
