To prepare fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise for the next swashbuckling adventure, Disney has decided to release the official synopsis for the franchises' fifth film.
Revealing details that the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales trailer had first kept secret, the new synopsis tells fans about Jack's derelict ship, The Dying Gull and his mission to find the Trident of Poseidon.
Read the full synopsis below:
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." 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 Salazer (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 (Benton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifull small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has never faced.
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" also stars Kevin R. McNally as Joshamee Gibbs, Golshifteh Farahani as the sea-witch Shansa, David Wenham as Scarfield, Stephen Graham as Scrum, and Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa.
From the looks of things, Jack Sparrow is in very, very deep trouble (pun intended) indeed and fans are definitely going to enjoy the romp.
Written by Jeff Nathanson and directed by Espen Sandberg and Jaochim Ronning, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is set to sail across the big screen on May 26, 2017.
