Producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean franchise) spoke about the direction of the sequel back in 2014 stating:

“The concept is, basically, are the pilots obsolete because of drones. Cruise is going to show them that they’re not obsolete. They’re here to stay. It’s just getting to the starting place. Fortunately for Tom, he’s very busy, so you have to find a slot he can fit into and get a budget that Paramount feels they can make the picture.”
