Following last week's new synopsis, USA Today has unveiled a brand new image from
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, spotlighting Javier Bardem's menacing
Captain Salazar aboard his decrepit ship. The publication reveals that the film will flash back to Johnny Depp's
Captain Jack Sparrow as a teenager, which is where he will first encounter Salazar.
Once the dreaded ghost pirate escapes the Devil's Triangle in the present day, Sparrow will be searching for the Trident of Poseidon, which has the power to cure all curses. Also mentioned is the return of Orlando Bloom's
Will Turner, who will also be searching for the Trident in order to rid his father, "Bootstrap Bill" (Stellen Skarsgard) , of the curse of Davy Jones.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales arrives in theatres on
May 26, 2017.
Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea – notably Jack. Jack’s only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Benton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has never faced.
“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” also stars Kevin R. McNally as Joshamee Gibbs, Golshifteh Farahani as the sea-witch Shansa, David Wenham as Scarfield, Stephen Graham as Scrum, and Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa.
