For the past several months, a lot have been said about the highly anticipated sequel of the "Pirates" franchise, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales." But as Disney officially promotes the film through the release of the sequel's trailer, it didn't escape the prying eyes of avid movie fans as Johnny Depp's infamous Capt. Jack Sparrow character has gone missing from the first teaser of the sequel.
Things are definitely getting more exciting for "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales" fans after Disney finally releases the sequel's first-ever trailer. According to Forbes, the trailer features a dark and violently grim mood as it introduces the sequel's major villain, Capt. Salazar (Javier Bardem).
What's more interesting about the newly released "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales" trailer, however, is the fact that Johnny Depp's beloved character was a no-show. So, does this mean that Depp has been fired by Disney? Or did Depp's recent personal issues and legal woes affect his "Pirates" career?
Despite Jack Sparrow's absence in the "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales" trailer, Collider stressed the teaser hinted Depp's character's return. In fact, Bardem's Capt. Salazar, who plans to kill every last pirate at sea, has a message for him in the trailer that said, "Death will come straight for him."
Aside from Bardem and Depp, the newly released "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales" trailer also introduced Will Turner's (Orlando Bloom) son Henry (Brenton Thwaites), who had a one-on-one encounter with Capt. Salazar. As for the other cast, the fifth installment will also feature Geoffrey Rush, Kaya Scodelario, Kevin McNally, Stephen Graham and many others, Cinema Blend notes.
Meanwhile, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales" is under the helm of Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg. The Hollywood Reporter reveals the sequel is set to be released on May 26, 2017, which is still a long wait for the excited fans but this will certainly ensure the high-quality visual effects of the film as principal photography has reportedly ended in July 2015 and reshoots were completed in April 2016.
So, do you think Johnny Depp has been fired in "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales?" Well, certainly not as the trailer shows Jack Sparrow is a wanted man. For more news and updates, please follow Parent Herald.
