Keira Knightley has said she felt “caged” after being in the blockbuster film franchise Pirates of the Caribbean.
The double Oscar nominee, 37, starred in the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl, in 2003, alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.
She played heroine Elizabeth Swann in that movie and three sequels.
Her character goes through a transition from daughter of a gentlemen to pirate while pursuing a romance with Bloom’s character Will Turner, a blacksmith’s apprentice, until her last outing in 2017’s Dead Men Tell No Tales.
She told Harper’s Bazaar UK: “[Elizabeth] was the object of everybody’s lust, not that she doesn’t have a lot of fight in her, but it was interesting coming from being really tomboyish to getting projected as quite the opposite.
“I felt very constrained, I felt very stuck, so the roles afterwards were about trying to break out of that.

While fans wait to see if Johnny Depp will return to Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise as Captain Jack Sparrow, Orlando Bloom says he’d like to know what his beloved character, Will Turner, has been getting up to after all these years. Speaking with Parade about the second and final season of Amazon‘s Carnival Row, Bloom said it would be fun to revisit his blacksmith’s apprentice-turned-pirate character.
“Oh gosh, you know, I did get to go back and play Legolas in The Hobbit, which was ten years later. I was like, ‘This is a lot of fun,'” Bloom said about restringing his bow and perking up his pointy ears to play the fair-haired archer. “Because he’s such a great space to be in, and I think Will [Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean]—I mean, Will’s so great,” Bloom said. “I wouldn’t mind...

Dead men tell no tales, but apparently, Margot Robbie’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” tale itself is dead. According to Robbie, her spinoff in the franchise is no longer moving forward.
Robbie revealed the news in a new interview with Vanity Fair, published Monday morning. In it, the actress revealed that development on the movie, which was first announced in 2020, has halted, seemingly indefinitely.
“We had an idea and we were developing it for a while, ages ago, to have more of a female-led — not totally female-led, but just a different kind of story — which we thought would’ve been really cool, but I guess they don’t want to do it,” she said.

Playing the everyman isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when you're playing against a larger-than-life antihero like Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow. The swashbuckler was the arguable selling point for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, at least at first. Most fans came for Depp's swaggering, rum-gulping pirate — but they stayed for the equally-compelling characters in his orbit, like Sparrow's longtime rival Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) or star-crossed lovers Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley).
Though Bloom himself looks back fondly on his time in the "Pirates" franchise, he acknowledges that his role as a more grounded character...

A good franchise finds nooks and crannies to explore, taking the beloved characters to new places, letting us see how they handle new challenges or opponents.
A bad franchise retreads the elements from the first offering without really making any effort to show us anything new or to deepen our affection for the character(s).
This summer, sadly, we have been presented with several misfires starting with Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) was a breath of fresh air when he first stepped ashore many, many years ago. But the tipsy captain with the heart of gold and squishy moral code is pretty much the same here, film number five. We’re learning nothing new about him, we’re seeing him do nothing we haven’t seen before and frankly, we’re bored.
Visually, Dead Men Tell No Tales, is fine.

**Spoilers For Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 Below...Sort Of*** In an effort to invoke some nostalgic feels, Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales brought Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Swan and Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner back into the fold (very, very, very briefly), and though their reunion was sweet, with it came a hint that a tentacle-faced villain could return as well...

As is common practice for Hollywood’s summer blockbusters in this day and age, Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales snuck in a post-credits scene to leave audiences on tenterhooks once the dust had settled from Jack Sparrow’s latest high-seas adventure.
The only problem here is, the actor featured in said scene, Bill Nighy, was completely unaware that his tentacled villain Davy Jones was utilized for a dialogue-free, CGI cameo, and only found out about his involvement through a taxi driver. Word comes by way of Empire, where Nighy recalled a rather candid chat about Captain Davy Jones, that after-credits scene, and the possibility of returning to Disney’s Pirates Of The Caribbean at some point in the future.
Minor spoilers for Dead Men Tell No Tales to follow:
I didn’t know anything about it until about a week ago. The cab driver said, ‘Are you doing the next one?...

Sword fights. Everyone loves a good sword fight. They combine the best thing about chess – the strategy and fitness of a well-timed and executed move – with the ferocity of a wrestling match. Plus, they’re normally really well scored. They’re like a dance off with more equipment and less impressive footwork. With that in mind, we thought that it’s important to take a couple of minutes to go through five of the best sword fights in movies.
5. Aragorn Vs The Nine Ringwraiths – The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
While the Hobbit films were somewhat “less than stellar” there’s no doubt that Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films were, on the whole, quite good. The Fellowship of the Ring especially. There were a lot of things in that film that worked really well – Saruman’s new orcs, the Balrog, the secret council, but the thing that really sold the film was the battle between Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and the Ringwraiths. It may have been short, but it set the tone for the film and it ends with an evil ghost getting a flaming torch to the face. What more does a film need than that?
4. Captain Jack Sparrow Vs Captain Hector Barbosa – Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Geoffrey Rush, playing the role of Hector Barbosa, described this fight as an epic battle between two immortals and is it ever. The choreography is pure Flynn-like. It’s over the top and quicker than a ship at full mast. Intercut with this scene is another sword fight: Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) versus the undead crew of the Black Pearl. Plus, bringing back what we said about being really well scored, Hans Zimmer is on point with the theme for both this fight and the entire scene. The series may have gone off the map in later films, but The Curse of the Black Pearl really was treasure.
3. Hector Vs Achilles – Troy (2004)
Okay, so this one is definitely a controversial choice. Classics Students hate this film because it’s not the Illiad; Lord of the Rings fans hate it because Legolas (Orlando Bloom) is a coward in it; and cinema-philes hate it because… Well, its quality is debatable. But, 2004’s Troy is notable because: every single actor seems to be chewing the scenery in every single scene and it has Eric Bana and Brad Pitt fighting with spears. Taking place the day after Hector (Bana) killed Patroclus – Achilles’ cousin-in-this-version-but-lover/protege-in-the-Illiad, it features some of the best choreography in a film that’s pretty much built upon its sword-to-sword choreography and the bankability of Brad Pitt. The fact that most of the fight is actually one that’s between two spear wielders – something which is rare in the medium, for some reason – only makes the whole thing even better. Plus, Pitt’s Achilles really lays on the smack talk. Hard.
2. The Bride Vs The Crazy 88 – Kill Bill, Vol. 1 (2003)
As the titular Bill (David Carradine) says in Kill Bill Vol. 2, Uma Thurman’s character wasn’t really fighting eighty-eight bodyguards during this fight. According to the Kill Bill Wiki, there are only forty-four of them. Still, that’s a considerable number of bodyguards for one woman to fight by herself and Thurman does it stylishly. She’s called the world’s deadliest woman throughout the film, but it’s this scene in which the thesis is tested. It’s one of the most stylish scenes Quentin Tarantino ever shot and we’d argue still holds up compared to his later work. There’s so much to say about this fight but we’ll just let the fact that the Bride fought forty-four bodyguards (as well as two bosses) and won speak for itself.
1. Luke Skywalker Vs Darth Vader – Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983)
There were a lot of options that we could have gone with for our ultimate battle of the blades. Hell, there were a lot of options we could have gone with from the Star Wars franchise. But, after going through all seven films again, we’ve decided that the top of them all has to be what was – for a long time – the final battle in the Star Wars trilogy. While not as technically flashy or quick as some of the fights from the prequel trilogy, the fight between Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Darth Vader (David Prowse/James Earl Jones) more than makes up for it in terms of both emotional impact, thematic appropriateness, and score. And wow, what a score it is. John Williams is known for his scores but we think this just takes the cake.
Are there any sword-fights you think we missed? Let us know in the comments below.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) is easily one of the best Hollywood blockbusters of the last twenty years. That film by director Gore Verbinski mixed a fun and sprawling plot with incredibly entertaining and surprisingly three-dimensional characters. It is an immensely re-watchable movie with its quick-witted dialogue and memorable action set pieces. It was a huge surprise back in 2003, and Disney didn’t know it at the time, but they had a gigantic blockbuster franchise on their hands. Even though the second and third installments, Dead Man’s Chest (2006) and At World’s End (2007), are polarizing films, I was, and remain, a huge fan of both. They continued the adventures of all the great characters from the first installment and each felt incredibly different in tone and style. Then there was the garbage fire fourth installment, On Stranger Tides (2011), which felt completely like a cash...

In some ways, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise can be compared to the Transformers franchise. They’re big, bombastic visual effects extravaganzas that surprised many in their first entry, but have since disappointed on many levels. Yet despite said disappointments, they both still manage to make huge bucks at the box office.
When it comes to the Pirates movies, I tend to find myself in the minority. I enjoyed the first one okay, but really fell in love with the second entry, Dead Man’s Chest, which I thought successfully amped up the fun and scope of the original without going too far into the deep end. The third entry, At World’s End lost me completely with its overly-convoluted narrative, and by the time On Stranger Tides came around, I’d already had enough of my fill of Pirates, so I didn’t even bother.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies have not been easy films to make....
As Michael Bolton once belted out: “This is the tale of Captain Jack Sparrow.” The Pirates Of The Caribbean film was a surprise sleeper hit in 2003, astounding the higher-ups at Disney who had long been sceptical of how a pirate movie, based on a ride at Disneyland, would appeal to audiences.
Off the back of this success, the sequels only got more ambitious and expensive in scale, with their use of practical effects and convoluted character dynamics serving to complicate the adventure format, with mixed results. It shouldn't shock you then, to hear that each of the movies released so far had some serious behind-the-scenes battles to make them shipshape.

Is this really only the fifth entry in the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise? It feels like the 50th – bloated, boring, repetitive, draining. (Let me count the ways.) Except for series newcomer Javier Bardem, who brings a dollop of fresh mischief to this paycheck party, Dead Men Tell No Tales has all the flavor of a rotting leftovers.
The story is the same rehash it was the last three times. Back in 2003, Johnny Depp delighted us and the Academy (he nabbed an Oscar nomination, remember) as Captain Jack Sparrow,...

MaryAnn’s quick take… The franchise finally overstays its welcome with this cacophony of CGI spectacle, a contrived and confusing plot, and a newly cruel and stupid Jack Sparrow. I’m “biast” (pro): loved the original trilogy…
I’m “biast” (con): …but started to lose a little patience with the fourth film
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Okay, make it stop. This amusement-park ride has gone on long enough. It is no longer any fun. I’m feeling a bit nauseated, in fact.
I adored the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy: they were smart, fun popcorn flicks that worked as clever updates on the classic Hollywood swashbuckler, all adventure and movie-movie romance and total, wonderful nonsense. With the third installment, 2007’s At World’s End, the series even managed to whip up some satirical zing, in its plot about gig-economy independent-contractor pirates versus...

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the four-quel you’d expect from the guys who brought you Bandidas. Yes, *that* Bandidas! Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg bulk up running times, homogenize visuals and whirl a typhoon of fan-servicing, all in the name of Disney swashbuckling. “Familiar” doesn’t begin to describe Sparrow’s latest quest, as there’s something so amiss this time around. Maybe it’s Javier Bardem inaudibly mumbling the film’s title right before a title card flashes (*groan*). Maybe it’s the numerous tits ‘n balls references within introductory minutes (Because Cannon Balls Are Like…). No matter why, it’s a sinking ship with only brief moments of smooth sailing – two hours worth, nonetheless.

Dead men tell no tales, and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise should really stop telling them too. Unfortunately, Disney’s been beating this dead horse for far too long, and the fifth entry into the franchise is no exception. As the coldly calculated Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales proves, it is time to let this series rest in peace, or at the very least, spend the rest of its doomed, immortal days sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
The film opens with fraudulent promise as the young son of forever-cursed Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) is sinking himself to the depths of the deep blue, where he lands upon the deck of the Flying Dutchman. Once on board, Will Turner’s son Henry (Brenton Thwaites) argues with his barnacle-faced father, insisting that he knows how to break the curse that...

Ah, Pirates of the Caribbean. The plucky blockbuster franchise that spawned from a Disneyland ride in 2003 is a teenager now, fourteen years old and emerging from its bedroom with a surly expression for more high-sea hijinks. Set nineteen years after the events of the 2011 film On Stranger Tides, Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge (or Dead Man Tell No Tales if you prefer the post-Colonial title) is the fifth installment in the series – and the way Hollywood is going, we should all be grateful it’s not a reboot.
Instead, the story picks up with Henry Turner, the son of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) attempting to find the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp, reprising arguably his most famous role) so he can break the curse that has condemned his father to the sea. He’s not the only one looking for...

Set nineteen years after the events of the 2011 film On Stranger Tides, Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge (or Dead Man Tell No Tales if you prefer the post-Colonial title) is the fifth installment in the series – and the way Hollywood is going, we should all be grateful it’s not a reboot.
Instead, the story picks up with Henry Turner, the son of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) attempting to find the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp, reprising arguably his most famous role) so he can break the curse that has condemned his father to the sea. He’s not the only one looking for...

Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 is the first really good sequel in the series. Here's our review...
What a strange franchise the Pirates films are. Once a surprise box office juggernaut back in 2003, subsequent sequels have turned it into a series of films known more for squandered potential than the soaring heights of its first outing. After a trilogy that became more unsatisfying as it went along, and a spin-off most people seem to have forgotten about, it’s back for another go with directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg at the helm.
The film is fighting against a tide of bad will generated by what came before it, as well as a film landscape far more saturated with visually spectacular, family-friendly adventure films than that of 2003, but somehow Salazar’s Revenge has risen to the challenge to become the best Pirates film since Black Pearl.
This film is oddly placed as a continuation,...

A new character poster for Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was shared by Paul McCartney via Twitter on Saturday. The poster features an unnamed character to be played by legendary musician, Sir Paul McCartney.
Not to be outdone by fellow music icon, the indestructible Keith Richards, who has twice played Jack Sparrow’s father, Captain Teague, McCartney joined the cast of the film just over a year ago.
McCartney’s character is listed on IMDb as being ‘jail guard 2’, however, it’s possible this could be covering the character’s real name for a surprise reveal. It seems unlikely that Disney would go to the trouble to bring in someone as famous as McCartney and give him the role that could be easily handled by an extra.
Take a look at the photo below!

Johnny Depp is sailing the high seas yet again as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and, for the fifth installment in the blockbuster franchise, he's joined by Javier Bardem.

While Bardem praised Depp as "a joy to work with," he admitted that the actor's familiarity with his iconic role was captivating, and it was sometimes hard for co-stars not to get caught up in his performance.

Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew of miscreants are set to once again plunder the box office. The fifth installment in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead men Tell No Tales, is ready to make port with a $90 million debut.
The franchise has always been a tough competitor at the box office with two of the films, 2006’s Dead Man’s Chest, and 2011’s On Stranger Tides, pulling in over $1 billion worldwide each. Dead Man’s Chest, had an opening weekend of $135 million, with the third film, 2007’s At World’s End, opening to $114 million.
Does the $90 million dollar estimate for Dead Men Tell No Tales spell doom for its chances to hit exceed a billion dollars? Though it may seem low in comparison to what the earlier blockbusters in the franchise raked in, it shouldn’t worry fans or the studio. Excluding the first film in the series,...

Toeing the line between soft reboot and full-blown franchise revival, it’s no secret that the impending Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales faces the somewhat difficult task of breathing new life into a series that, while financially bankable, has strayed into choppy waters in recent installments.
Norweigan filmmakers Espen Sandberg and Joachim Rønning are behind the lens, and at least so far, the early word on Dead Men Tell No Tales paints the fifth Pirates movie as a rip-roaring ride that ricochets from moments of unashamed fan service – namely the return of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and the graceful, yet cunning Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) – and moments of wonder, particularly once Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) breaks free from the Devil’s Triangle seeking revenge.

While not necessarily renowned for his comedic capabilities, Orlando Bloom certainly injects some of his charisma into the role of Jack, in Michael Apted’s pertinent, political thriller Unlocked.
We sat down with Bloom to speak about the role, as he tells us much of what he did was improvised, granted the freedom from the experienced director to be creative with the role at hand. He also speaks about the importance in having films that reflect the modern world, and explains whether his approach to a character changes dependent on whether it’s steeped in realism or thriving in a more fantastical capacity. Which brings us to Pirates of the Caribbean – as we ask the man behind returning character Will Turner, just what fans of the franchise can expect from the forthcoming outing Salazar’s Revenge.

There’s a fine line between life and death – just ask Captain Jack Sparrow.
Johnny Depp’s swashbuckling protagonist learns this the hard way in the new and extended TV spot for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Sparrow may be the undisputed king of wriggling out of sticky situations – from the gnarly Kraken to Davy Jones’ Locker, our anti-hero has a habit of staring down death in the face and living to tell the tale – but Espen Sandberg and Joachim Rønning’s franchise revival resurrects a formidable new enemy for Jack Sparrow to confront: Captain Salazar, who features in the newly released promo below.

Orlando Bloom has backtracked from comments he made on a British morning radio show this week that sparked outrage and accusations of racism over in the U.K. While promoting “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” Bloom told BBC Radio 1 “Breakfast Show” host Nick Grimshaw: “I’m still a pikey from Kent, boy, I’m still a pikey from Kent. You don’t want to get on the wrong side of me, boy.” Bloom was making the reference while talking about his character in the Disney franchise, Will Turner, a blacksmith’s apprentice secretly in love with the governor’s daughter.

Exclusive: Orlando Bloom talks Pirates 5; says sequel has “the best of what we had at the beginning”

In amongst all of the summer movie madness that is slowly cranking up in the film world, many will soon the return of some of their favourite franchises whether it’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Transformers, Alien, Planet of the Apes or the recently released Fast & Furious 8.
But one new sequel that has many question marks over it is the fifth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Dead Men Tell No Tales, and while the previous few entries have been big hits they haven’t been received with as much positivity as the first adventure. Orlando Bloom, who starred in the first three films, is returning for part 5 as Will Turner and says where the sequels have disappointed, the new film will bring back much of the charm and adventure of the original.

Keira Knightley has been spotted in the new international trailer for “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” which came as a surprise to most fans. After all, the actress is not listed on the IMDb page of the fifth “Pirates” movie, although Orlando Bloom is, who reemerges in the film as well. Also, Elizabeth and Will Turner somewhat bid farewell to audiences at the end of the third film, “At World’s End,” given that Will was sent to spend 10 years on the Flying Dutchman. So if Will appears, it only makes sense for Elizabeth to pop up in.

Ahh, Trailers and TV Spots. Both the love of my life and the bane of my existence. On one hand, finally getting a new look at Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in this new TV spot is exciting because it's Will Turner and he's all Davy Jonesified. On the other hand, now when I see the movie and he inevitably shows up, I'll just be like: Oh. Ya. The thing from the TV spot. Anyways...
The new spot is Pretty good. It's a TV spot, so there's not a whole lot to say about it. Will Turner looks cool. You only see him for a second, so just blink at around 14 seconds in if you want to miss him. If you want to check it out below, you can. If you want to wait till the big screen to see it, do that.

The fifth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie, Dead Men Tell No Tales, sails into theaters in less than two months. Yesterday, though, Disney gave away what would seem to be one of the movie’s big narrative reveals, releasing a trailer that shows Orlando Bloom’s character, Will Turner, return to the franchise in the fishy flesh.
For those who don’t remember Will, he was the male love interest in the original Pirates trilogy, spending most of his time jumping desperately between whichever bits of scenery Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush hadn’t gleefully inhaled. When last we saw him, he was leaving his wife and family to miserably captain the Flying Dutchman, but now he’s back, and sporting some Davy Jones-esque head coral of his own. That being said, he seems pretty happy to be reunited with his son, Brenton Thwaites’ character Henry (whose own secret...

Ten Hollywood distributors flew in talent and created video reels at this year’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas. Amid the non-stop four-day rush of showbiz razzle-dazzle and box office posturing, there was real information to be gleaned.

“The dead have taken command of the sea,” we hear as the trailer begins. Maybe good old William hasn’t been doing his job as captain of the Dutchman?

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.

No doubt that Disney has had much success with its Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The series that launched in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, has finally reached it's presumed final chapter. When On Stranger Tides did not do so well, many of us thought that may had been the end of the franchise. But this May we get to join Captain Jack Sparrow played by Johnny Depp on one more sea adventure in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Obviously because of the previous film, this one could use a little push to get some momentum before it's release date.

Pirates of the Caribbean is quite the interesting little franchise. It had its start with Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley right at its center. However, when Disney realized the main draw of it was Johnny Depp’s drunken interpretation of the now iconic Jack Sparrow. The fourth film saw both characters Will Turner and Elizabeth completely gone from the franchise in favor of Jack, and it was worse for wear.
After the franchise’s long hiatus, there were always rumors that Orlando Bloom would reprise his role as Will Turner, and even stronger rumors that the upcoming film, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, would follow his son. Recent trailers show some guy running around who seems an awful lot like Will Turner-lite, but there was never really a confirmation for us to see, and if you looked at IMDb, you’d see that his character was simply listed as Henry.
