A teaser poster for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has been released, perhaps representing the badass (sort of) rock-star-of-the-sea ways that have made audiences love Johnny Depp’s portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow. The film continues on with the story of his seafaring mischief, but this time around, there are a few new faces added to the mix. Hit the jump for more!
New castmates include Penélope Cruz (Nine) and Ian McShane (Kung Fu Panda) as father, Blackbeard, and daughter, Angelica. Not only does the latest movie feature new characters, but the series’ signature skull on the poster is exceptionally metallic looking, enticing eager fans to assume that there is something edgier and perhaps with more evil looming ahead? The bandana-adorned skull is reminiscent of Jack’s dreadlocked look, and the beading reminds us that Keith Richards is returning for a second go-around as Jack’s swaggering and just as cleverly aloof father.
Although the trilogy previously included stars Keira Knightely (Never Let Me Go) and Orlando Bloom (New York, I Love You), the focus of the film has shifted onto Jack, who makes for one hell of an adventurer without the love story to derail his schemes.
The film will be released in time for Memorial Day in 3D on May 20, 2011 and as we wait for more images or even a teaser trailer, this daunting poster will just have to do. What do you expect of the new film? Do you think it will be as entertaining as the previous three? Check out the poster below and tell us what you think.
