A new Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales featurette released today appears to confirm a fan theory about the swashbuckling franchise.
In the video below (via Gizmodo), actor Brenton Thwaites’ character, Henry, is given a last name–Turner. We’ve known for a while now that Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner will be in the movie, but we haven’t actually seen him yet. But at 1:03 in the video below, we learn that Henry Turner may in fact be the child that Will Turner has with Keira Knightly’s character, Elizabeth.
The new Dead Men Tell No Tales trailer also provides a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the film and the main players–behind the camera and in front.
Additionally, Disney has published the full synopsis for Dead Men Tell No Tales:
“The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea–notably Jack. 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. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has ever faced.”
In addition to Johnny Depp, Bloom, and Thwaites, Dead Men Tell No Tales features Geoffrey Rush, David Wenham, Kaya Scodelario, Kevin McNally, and Golshifteh Farahani. The movie, which is directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, opens in theaters on May 26.
