'Pirates of the Caribbean 5' news, cast, spoilers: Fifth movie will bring back elements from the first film
It was a good surprise when Disney announced the confirmation of the fifth installment of the successful "Pirates of the Caribbean." What made it even more special is the fact that Orlando Bloom will be reprising his role as Will Turner in the franchise. A lot of fans felt that his absences was a crucial void in the last movie.
Aside from the fact that the original characters will once again be part of the fifth film, it also seems that there would be a lot of similar elements from the very first film going to be seen in the latest one. Kaya Scodelario, who will be starring in the soon-to-be-released "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," spoke about how Captain Jack Sparrow will return to his roots.
Scodelario spoke out during a press tour for her latest film, "The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials," sharing, "[The producers] want to take it back to the beginning again. They wanted it to have this epic journey, and for it to make sense, and for it to tie things up, and also lead to new storylines." Scodelario will be playing Carina Smyth, who is described to be an astronomer and scholar in a time where there was scarcity of female students in universities. According to Digital Spy, the 23-year-old also revealed how her character will end up crossing paths with Jack Sparrow, as she says, "So she's on her own journey — looking for the trident of Poseidon — and she has a diary with clues, and she encounters Jack Sparrow along the way, and he messes everything up. As he does. And it's fun!"
Furthermore, Geoffrey Rush, who portrays Captain Hector Barbossa, will join the adventure once more. He confirms that the new directors heading the production are doing their best to bring back the adventure into the Pirate movie. This would certainly be good news, as this was one thing missing a lot in the previous films.
