On this occasion, Disney also revealed the plot of the new film. Accordingly, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) will have to face a ghostly pirate army led by Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem). Salazar, a vendetta against Jack Sparrow from the past, has escaped from captivity in the Bermuda Triangle and now wants to eliminate all pirates who disobey him. To defeat Salazar, Jack Sparrow must find the legendary trident of the sea god Poseidon. Legend says that whoever possesses this artifact will become the ruler of the ocean.
Alongside Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem in the lead roles, Dead Man Tell No Tales features several new faces, including Kaya Scodelario (The Maze Runner), Brenton Thwaites (The Giver), and Golshifteh Farahani (The Patience Stone). Meanwhile, Geoffrey Rush, Kevin R. McNally, and Stephen Graham return to their familiar roles as Captain Barbossa, Gibbs, and Scrum, respectively. This is the first Pirates of the Caribbean film not written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. The screenplay for Dead Man Tell No Tales was written by Jeff Nathanson.
