Disney has released a new poster and concept art illustration forPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, to get fans ready for the new trailer debuting tomorrow. The poster offers a new look at the villainousCaptain Salazar(Javier Bardem), along with Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), Captain Barbosa (Geoffrey Rush) and newcomers Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario) and Henry (Brenthon Thwaites). The studio has also released an intriguing piece of concept art, that features “ghost sharks” that will be seen in the movie.
Disney debuted the new poster on social media today, whileAMC Theatresdebuted the concept art. It isn’t exactly clear how these “ghost sharks” came to be, or how they fit into this story, but they most likely aren’t related to the 2013 Syfy original movieGhost Shark, or its 2015 sequelGhost Shark 2: Urban Jaws. It’s possible we’ll get our first look at these ghost sharks in action when the new trailer debuts tomorrow.
Johnny Deppreturns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-newPirates 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 (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy.
