Pirates of the Caribbean's hype has moved on from America to a more foreign market. The franchise is massive in other countries, particularly China, where it gets better reception than even franchises as big as Star Wars. While the movies have been on a downward trend in domestic box office, their international numbers have kept the series afloat, a situation which can also be seen in movies like Transformers, Pacific Rim, or Warcraft. So there is hype, but not where we get to see it as much.

Regardless, ERB is very much a series with an American perspective, and I don't think Jack Sparrow would draw nearly as much interest as he would have during say Season 1.

In any case, if they did want to capitalize on any remaining hype for the Pirates franchise, they definitely should have released a battle before the movie came out. Fett vs Deadpool hyped up both franchises before their new movies came out, so that would be a different case.

And lastly any real connection between Jack Sparrow and Spider-Man is lost on me. Even as a bonus battle I'd like for there to be a reason for the two characters to fight.
