On Tuesday night, Disney presented an early screening ofPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Talesat CinemaCon in Las Vegas, and theearly reactionsto the screening were largely quite positive. While the rest of us will have to wait until May 26, Disney is helping fans pass the time by releasing an exciting new TV trailer, which teases a number of pirate zombies, along with a new glimpse at the returning Will Turner, played byOrlando Bloom, who hasn’t been seen since 2007’sPirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. We also get a look at the new villain, Captain Salazar, played byJavier Bardem, who has some special powers of his own.
This TV trailer debuted onDisneyYouTube earlier today, which also showcasesGeoffrey Rush’s Barbosa, who encounters these pirate zombies that are taking over the sea. The brief trailer ends withBrenton Thwaites' Henry coming face-to-face with Captain Salazar, who reveals that “Dead Men Tell No Tales,” along with the tagline “All pirates must die.” Salazar is in fact one of these pirate zombies himself, with his face morphing and regenerating in this footage. With the May 26 release date getting closer and closer, it remains to be seen how much more footage will be unveiled.
Johnny Deppreturns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-heroJack Sparrowin the all-newPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
