When a young version of Johnny Depp?s zany Jack Sparrow appears in a flashback in Disney?s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, it became the latest example of the use of digital effects to ?de-age? an actor for the purpose of having him or her appear in a flashback. Moviegoers saw another example just a few weeks ago, when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 introduced a young Kurt Russell as his character, Ego.
