Incoming: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, Javier Bardem and more!

China Film Insider reports that the cast of megastars will land in town next month for the global premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (AKA: The Fifth One), set to be held right here in Shanghai.

The heartthrob crew will make an appearance at Shanghai Disneyland on May 11. We hope that means we get to see Depp's eye makeup up close and personal. (ZOMG, Jack Sparrow swoooooon~)

The film also just got an earlier release date in China, and is to sail into theaters on Friday, May 26 — the same day it premieres in North America. It will have screenings in 2D, 3D, IMAX and the China Film Giant Screen and could see major box office returns over Dragon Boat Festival (May 28-30).

This isn't the first time Bloom has visited the Magical Kingdom in Pudong — last fall he was spotted scoping out the TRON ride with then-bae Katy Perry. (RIP, that relationship).

Will Turner also even rescued a stray dog right here in the 'Hai in October. Watch the video here.

Shanghai Disneyland is the place to be for Disney premieres these days. Just last month, Emma Watson and crew made a stop there ahead of Beauty and the Beast's release in China.
