Scodelario is set to be one of the big new additions to the cast list and will take on the role of Carina Smyth, alongside Johnny Depp.
And the British actress says that the new film will have more of a feel of the first movie - which remains the most popular and most critically acclaimed.
Speaking to Digital Spy, the actress said: "It [does have] a lot more of the first movie, that's what they wanted to bring it back to
"[The producers] want to take it back to the beginning again. They wanted it to have this epic journey, and for it to make sense, and for it to tie things up, and also lead to new storylines."
We will be meeting the character of Carina Smyth for the first time in Dead Men Tell No Tales and Scodelario has given us some hints as to what we can expected from this new character.
She continued: "[Carina] is an astronomer, and she is an academic. She's fighting for the right to study at university, because women couldn't at that time. So she's on her own journey - looking for the trident of Poseidon - and she has a diary with clues, and she encounters Jack Sparrow along the way, and he messes everything up. As he does. And it's fun!"
Dead Men Tell No Tales is the fifth film in the Pirate of the Caribbean franchise and will hit the big screen six years after the box office success of On Stranger Tides.
Depp is set to reprise the role of Captain Jack Sparrow, while Geoffrey Rush, Stephen Graham, Kevin McNally, and Orlando Bloom are some other familiar faces. However, there are some great new additions as Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites, and David Wenham are also on board.
As for Scodelario, she has returned to the big screen this week with Maze Runner: The Scorch Trails, which sees her reprise her role as Teresa as she reunites with director Wes Ball.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is released 7th July 2017.
