Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Act Three: The Ghost Fleet Rises

Dead Men Tell No Tales ended with a post-credits scene that shocked everyone: the ghost of Salazar is shown, but the scene focuses on a voodoo doll of Jack Sparrow lying on a table.

• Visuals and set pieces: The film looks spectacular. From sweeping ocean vistas and storm-lashed ship battles to eerie ghost-ship sequences, cinematography and VFX are strong. Director Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg stage action with energy and clarity; the imaginative set design and practical effects keep the franchise’s adventurous spirit alive.
• New blood: Henry (Brenton Thwaites) and Carina (Kaya Scodelario) add emotional grounding and a fresh dynamic. Their personal stakes—Henry’s desire to free his father, Carina’s struggle for acceptance and identity—anchor the sprawling supernatural plot in human terms.
• Javier Bardem’s Salazar: Bardem brings menace and dignity to the antagonist role. He’s a credible threat with an elegantly tragic backstory that makes the conflict about more than simply killing Jack.
• Moments of genuine charm: Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow, though familiar, still has zingers and physical beats that work. There are scenes that recapture the series’ knack for humor and whimsy.
