Disney Delivers Significant Pirates of the Caribbean 5 Spoiler

As you can tell from the title there is a significant spoiler ahead. The strange part is this spoiler came from Disney itself. They released a featurette for May 26th's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" & in it they listed Brenton Thwaites' character name as not only Henry, but Henry Turner. Yes, as in Davey Jones's replacement, Will Turner's son. I'm confused as to why they would let this out. There's a chance this could have no significance at all. As for all I know this could be revealed in the first 10 minutes. Maybe it's because I'm stuck on how strange it would have been in "Empire Strikes Back" if there were a behind the scenes where Darth Vader sits in a chair marked "Luke's Daddy" a month before it's release. Probably would've stolen most of the emotional response. In their defense though, we were all about 99% sure that was the junior Will Turner from the time he popped up in the first teaser trailer. I just can't help to think the big reveals of the cinema are gone in this age of almost too much information, & that's a sad thought. That means less "Keyser Soze'" moments for everyone. If you don't get that reference do yourself a favor & watch "The Usual Suspects". Great movie. Anyway, what do you think of Disney spoiling what could or could not be a major plot point? Let us know in the comments & then.... like & share.
