PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES First Look Featurette Confirms Will Turner's Son

Ahead of tonight's special screening at CinemaCon, Walt Disney Studios has released a very cool new featurette offering up an extended behind-the-scenes look at Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which stars 3x Academy Award-nominee Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow.

The first look shows off plenty of never-before-seen footage mixed in with new interview snippets with directors Joachim Rønning & Espen Sandberg as well as with the franchise newcomers, including Academy Award-winner Javier Bardem (Skyfall), Kaya Scodelario (The Maze Runner), and Brenton Thwaites (The Giver). 

The nearly two-minute clip also confirms a long-running theory about Thwaites' mysterious character by revealing his full name, which is "Henry Turner," meaning he is indeed the son of Orlando Bloom's William Turner and Keira Knightley's Elizabeth Swann. Bloom, as we know, will appear in the upcoming sequel, so we'll almost definitely see a father-son reunion at some point, but as for Elizabeth, it's still unknown what's become of her since we last saw her at the tail end of 2007's At World's End.

Check out the new featurette below:



Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea…including him. Captain Jack’s only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.

Amazing news. Now I just want Keira to return and everything will be fine.

@JPSpideyFan2015 - I think a news outlet confirmed she's in this one. If this entry is successful then I'm sure Disney will make more despite the last trailer saying "The Final Adventure."

Well it was obvious ever since the beginning.

@MovieMonster - no, the movie takes place 20 years after the first trilogy, which would be another 10 years after that scene. So Henry would be 20 now.

@Omegacron - Shouldn't Jack Sparrow be like... 60?!

MovieMonster - 3/28/2017, 11:12 AM
@Omegacron - I was also thinking about that being a possibility.

Love the PotC films. Should be a swashbuckling good time.

Isn't this supposed to take place in the ten year span between the end of At World's End and that movie's post credit scene? The kid at the end, which is Will and Elizabeth's, still looks like a boy and not a young adult like Henry Turner here. Talk about an error in continuity.



Still going to see this. They seemed to have take their time prepping this one instead of On Stranger Tides, which just seemed like a rushed cash-grab.

@MovieMonster - It could take place years later after Stranger Tides making Henry a teenager... Maybe?!

Omegacron - 3/28/2017, 11:13 AM
@MovieMonster - No, it takes place 20 years after the original trilogy, so another 10 years after that scene. Thus Henry would be 19 or 20, which is what he looks like.

@Omegacron - My biggest problem is the lack of aging between the other characters. It really doesn't look like 20 years later for Sparrow or Barbossa. I dub this trope the First Class Apocalypse, after the same apparent non-aging seen throughout the McAvoy/Fassbender X-Men movies.
Omegacron
Omegacron - 3/28/2017, 11:32 AM
@BrettMan - I agree. Barbossa, especially, should a lot older. He looked to be around 50 in the first one, so he should a dottering old 70-year-old by now. Oddly enough, it really HAS been almost 20 years since the first movie. That was in 2003, so 14-15 years now. And Geoffrey Rush really IS 65 years old. Weird, huh.

They should make it so that Elizabeth died sometime in the years between the two trilogies. That would explain why Will & crew look cursed - he only got to visit her once, only to come back and find her dead, thus abandoning his duty out of grief and anger... just as Davey Jones did.

Theory? Thwaites interview-"It's about a young man trying to reconnect with his father but a curse prevents him from doing that. Blooms interview-"I think they want to take the direction of this franchise to to the relationship I have with my son and focus on that." You mean to tell me people didn't put two and two together by now?

It was pretty obvious who Thwaites was playing from the trailer. He is definitely mimicking Orlando Bloom's Will turner from the first movie.
