PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES First Look Featurette Confirms Will Turner's Son
Disney has released a neat new featurette for the next chapter in Jack Sparrow's epic saga, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which showcases a ton of sweet new footage!
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.
