Glimpse Jack’s final adventure in new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ trailer


The new “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” trailer has dropped, and it offers some surprising revelations about the plot and its characters.

Yes, that was Jack Sparrow as a young man you just saw, and his nemesis Captain Salazar prior to undead-ification.

The studio also shared a new poster, featuring the movie’s main characters, and concept art depicting zombie sharks. Zombie sharks!

 

In the fifth entry in Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) and his undead crew escape the Devil’s Triangle with one mission: destroy Jack Sparrow, (Johnny Depp) the man responsible for their ghastly fate. 

Jack Sparrow is in over his head, which forces him into an uneasy alliance with the “brilliant and beautiful astronomer” Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), who is described as a “headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy.”

Jack helms a “pitifully small and shabby ship” fittingly called the Dying Gull. With his newfound company, he must seek the only instrument of his salvation: the Trident of Poseidon.

The film’s other characters include Joshamee Gibbs (Kevin R. McNally), Shansa the sea witch (Golshifteh Farahani), Scarfield (David Wenham), Scrum (Stephen Graham), Captain Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom).

Though the trailer advertises the film as Jack Sparrow’s “final adventure,” we can’t say for sure if this means the end for Johnny Depp’s iconic, larger-than-life character. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” films have been huge successes for Disney, with the fourth movie, “On Stranger Tides,” earning more than $1 billion globally despite lukewarm critical reception. 

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” is directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, who are filmmakers from Norway. Jerry Bruckheimer is its producer.

The film sails into theaters on May 26, 2017. — AT, GMA News
