Their two previous "Pirates" adventures smashed records around the world, with "The Curse of the Black Pearl" garnering more than $650 million worldwide, a figure nearly doubled by "Dead Man's Chest," which became the third highest-grossing movie in international box office history with more than $1-billion, and a gigantic domestic take of $423,315,812, the sixth highest position in history. Produced by JERRY BRUCKHEIMER and directed by GORE VERBINSKI, Captain Jack and the others set sail on the spectacular new adventure, once again laced with lashing of rollicking and irreverent humor, which takes them into new realms of adventure and fantasy. This time around, the quartet is joined by international superstar CHOW YUN-FAT as Captain Sao Feng, the pirate lord of Singapore. JOHNNY DEPP, ORLANDO BLOOM, KEIRA KNIGHTLEY and GEOFFREY RUSH reunite in Walt Disney Pictures'/Jerry Bruckheimer Films' "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," an all new epic tale in the blockbuster series chronicling the fantastical adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Yet each must choose a side, and make their final alliances for one last battle, in a titanic showdown that could eliminate the freedom-loving pirates from the seven seas - forever. unless the capricious sea goddess Calypso, imprisoned in human form, can be freed and convinced to come to their aid.Īs betrayal piles upon betrayal, it becomes clear that Jack, Will, Elizabeth, Sao Feng, and Barbossa each have their own agenda, and no one can be trusted. The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his. In an increasingly shaky alliance, our heroes, including Tia Dalma (NAOMIE HARRIS), Pintel (LEE ARENBERG) and Ragetti (MACKENZIE CROOK) must first travel to dangerous, exotic Singapore and confront Chinese pirate Captain Sao Feng (CHOW YUN-FAT) to gain charts, and a ship, that will take them off to world's end, to rescue Jack.īut even if Captain Jack is successfully rescued, the gathering of the legendary Brethren Court may not be enough to hold back the fearsome tide of Beckett, Davy Jones and their powerful Armada. 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. Will Turner (ORLANDO BLOOM), Elizabeth Swann (KEIRA KNIGHTLEY) and Captain Barbossa (GEOFFREY RUSH) embark on a desperate quest to gather the Nine Lords of the Brethren Court, their only hope to defeat Beckett, the Flying Dutchman, and his Armada.īut one of the Lords is missing-Captain Jack Sparrow (JOHNNY DEPP), either the best or worst pirate ever, and now trapped in Davy Jones Locker, thanks to his encounter with the monstrous Kraken. The Dutchman now roams the seven seas, unstoppable, destroying pirate ships without mercy, under the command of Admiral Norrington (JACK DAVENPORT). Lord Cutler Beckett (TOM HOLLANDER) of the East India Company has gained control of the terrifying ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman, and its malevolent, vengeful Captain, Davy Jones (BILL NIGHY). However, the fact that Will Turner so consistently beat the odds to take Davy Jones' place on the Dutchman has huge implications for his status in the wider Pirates of the Caribbean mythology.It is a dark time as the Age of Piracy nears to a close. Whether his eventual fate in the franchise was predetermined is never confirmed. However, the combination of his eventual significance as a character, involvement with supernatural forces, and continuous improbable survival at sea all suggests that Will was kept alive by more than fortune and his own wits. Given that the extent personal destiny plays in the wider story is rarely explicitly explained, Will's resilience could still be put down to pure luck. The complexities of fate and destiny in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise make Will's role in the story unclear. Henry used Jack Sparrow (another character with a touch of destiny) to get the Trident of Poseidon and break the Flying Dutchman's curse altogether-and it would never have been possible if Will hadn't survived so many Pirates of the Caribbean shipwrecks. Moreover, Pirates 5 revealed that Will had begun to transform into a sea beast like Davy Jones (though it never explained why). In Dead Men Tell No Tales, Henry Turner became determined to break the curse that kept his father away for a decade at a time. Will's Pirates of the Caribbean story started with his father but ended with his son.
