Disney just released the latest trailer for the fifth "Pirates of the Caribbean" film, and it showed a new face that could possibly be Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann's (Keira Knightley) son.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" trailer showed a young man — who resembles the previous installments' protagonist Will Turner — being asked by a new antagonist, Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), along with several ghost pirates to deliver a message to Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp).
"Death will come straight for him," is the message that Captain Salazar asked the young man to tell Captain Jack Sparrow. In the previous installment "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," Sparrow was last seen with his first mate Gibbs (Kevin McNally) walking along the shoreline planning to find Jack's beloved ship the Black Pearl.
According to IMDB, in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," Jack Sparrow will be searching for the Trident of Poseidon, a powerful weapon that equips its user with the power to control the seas. Jack will do so in order to defeat one of his old enemies — Captain Salazar — who just escaped from the Devil's Triangle to get revenge on Jack.
On another note, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" would probably show a family reunion between Will Turner and his alleged son Henry, the young man shown in the recent trailer. Though Bloom has been officially confirmed to play Will in the fifth installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean," the same cannot be said for co-actress Knightley.
"My time has definitely passed, I loved it, it was an amazing experience but I won't be going back," Knightley said in an interview with BBC Radio 2. Knightley's confirmed absence in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" leaves fans to speculate that Elizabeth Swan might have passed away or that a new face might be cast as Swan.
Furthermore, actor Brenton Thwaites hinted that his role features a young man longing to connect with his father Davy Jones, but is struggling with a curse that prevents him from doing so. Much speculation has surrounded Thwaites' tip, especially since he mentioned that his character's father is Davy Jones, a known pirate name that has been taken by Will Turner.
The movie — which will be directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg — will also star Kaya Scodelario, Geoffrey Rush, and will be showing in theaters in May 26, 2017.
