Super Bowl 51's barrage of trailers brought a fresh look at Disney's new Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and things are looking grim for Captain Jack Sparrow.
Titled in the UK as Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge, Johnny Depp's unstoppable rogue must, this time, face a new foe in the guise of former associate Captain Salazar (played with ghoulish delight by Skyfall's Javier Bardem); whose escape from the clutches of the Devil's Triangle has spurred him on a mission to kill all living pirates, with a particular target on Sparrow's back.
Salazar's Revenge certainly, so far, boasts the usual formula for a Pirates of the Caribbean vehicle: pitting a supernatural crew (Salazar's ghost pirates) against Sparrow and a young, beautiful lass (Kaya Scodelario's astronomer Carina Smyth) and lad (Brenton Thwaites' Royal Navy sailor Henry, son of Will Turner).
Perhaps most interesting to fans is a quick glimpse at Orlando Bloom's return as said Will, a barnacle covered-mess now that he took over command of The Flying Dutchman, following his death at the end of the third film, At World's End.
Kon-Tiki's Espen Sandberg and Joachim Rønning are directing; with the cast also seeing Geoffrey Rush's Captain Barbossa once more return, all alongside actual rockstar Paul McCartney.
The Super Bowl also saw new spots and trailers released for Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Logan, Fate of the Furious, Transformers: The Last Knight, amongst others.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge hits UK cinemas 26 May 2017.
