Pirates of the Caribbean fans are no strangers to waiting for the next installment of a film. They waited four long years for the fourth movie in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Of course, a movie of this scale takes a long time to produce and is a lot of hard work for everyone involved, so they are more than willing to wait if it means another fantastic movie. Due to the fact that they are so incredible, it only makes sense that their fan base is so forgiving. But recently, the public was given its first sneak peak into the fifth film, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. And to say that everyone is excited is an understatement.
It is always exciting to hear that a sequel to a beloved film is being made. With the first three pirates movies coming out rather close to each other, it was hard for fans to not get the immediate news that a fourth movie was being made. The same feelings came after that movie as well, but now that the fifth installment is well underway fans are more excited than ever. Some of the best news that came with the announcement of Dead Men Tell No Tales was the cast. Not only is Johnny Depp reprising his infamous role as Captain Jack Sparrow, but fans will also get to see some other beloved characters, including Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa and Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs. Easily the most exciting news regarding casting was that Orlando Bloom will be back to continue his role as William Turner. It was disappointing for fans to not see him or Kiera Knightly as Elizabeth Swan in On Stranger Tides. While Knightly may not be back, fans are ecstatic to see the handsome Will Turner return to the Caribbean.
While everyone is happy to welcome back the original cast members, they are also excited to see new characters brought to life. If there is one area the Pirates of the Caribbean series has not failed, it is their enticing story lines and captivating villains. Everytime fans watch the movies (or go on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland) they are transported into a world unlike any other. The attention to detail is simply astonishing from the costumes of the characters to the computer graphics. With sets and stunts (anyone else excited to see what Caption Jack Sparrow is going to do this time) audience members are left in awe.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is set to premier May 26, 2017. Already fans are counting down the days to experience the pirate's life again.
