An unofficial POTC Facebook page posted some pretty intresting storylines about DMTNT. Whether true or false it sounds pretty real. I also do not know who is speaking. :) "For starters, we were treated to on-set pre-CG images as well as concept art for the new movie’s villain, Captain Salazar, played by Javier Bardem. Salazar’s look is a rather creepy one, with half his head seemingly rotted away and the rest of his clothes and appendages not far off. 

'''It was also revealed that Salazar has some serious history with returning hero Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp. Many years before, Salazar and his feared pirate ship, The Silent Mary, were th e scourge of the Caribbean, ruling the seas with no one to challenge them. However, when Sparrow got involved with their business they had a mysterious turn of fortune resulting in Salazar’s current supernatural condition. As such, Salazar is now on a quest to find the legendary Trident of Poseidon, which he wants to use to somehow kill all pirates, not just Sparrow, whose origin story will be revealed here as a key part of the plot. Also searching for the Trident though are two franchise newcomers, Henry and Carina, respectively played by Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario. It was revealed that Henry is the son of Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner, who has been cursed to remain aboard Davy Jones’ ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman. Henry wants the powerful Trident as he believes its magic can break Davy Jones’ curse and free his dad. Meanwhile, Carina is a young astronomer following astrological clues to the Trident, in part to prove that her skill with science is just that, and not the witchcraft she’s been accused of, and also to help her unlock some personal mystery about who she is and where she comes from. We got to see several pieces of concept art for the movie, showing off outlandish destinations and fantastic creature design. Service also explained that with this movie, Disney were aiming to recapture the incredible winning recipe of adventure, thrills, scares and humour that made that first film such a huge swashbuckling success. Oscar nominated co-directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg (Kon-Tiki ) certainly have their work cut out for them, but apparently they’ve been given a boon in the form of Jeff Nathanson’s script, which is apparently the funniest of the entire franchise."
