‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ won’t lose Kaya Scodelario to injury, fake whale on set
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales star Kaya Scodelario’s recent injury may prove to a big problem for the production and Disney’s prized Johnny Depp-led franchise.

However, it has been confirmed that no such thing will happen because after Scodelario fully recovers from her accident, she will return as usual to filming her scenes on Pirates of the Caribbean 5.
Leaked footage from the set of the film showed featured the huge fake whale that will be part of the movie.
According to IBTimes, the work on the whale started this week and it is reportedly made out of coated polystyrene materials. The whale will also be transported to Hastings Point, where the other cast members are filming after it is completed this coming Friday.
