Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, and...Ozzy Osbourne?
Ahoy, mateys, and welcome to the first Pirates of the Caribbean Wiki blog post of 2025! I hope everyone is having a fantastic and piratical year so far, whether they be fans of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, or Marvel. For Star Wars fans, there has been some pirate-y goodness with the Disney+ series Skeleton Crew, which did feature one or two Pirates references, that aired in late 2024 with the finale airing in early 2025. In addition, Star Wars fans are waiting in anticipation for Andor Season 2, which will feature the return of Stellan Skarsgård's Luthen Rael, though the return of Anton Lesser's Major Partagaz is (for now) unconfirmed, and Christopher Fairbank's Ulaf is...well, spoiler alert. While there were no pirates on the Marve…
Merry Christmas, Me Hearties, Yo Ho! 2024
Yo-Ho-Ho...Hang on a minute, that's not quite right. Har har! Merry Christmas to you all, my fellow Pirates fans, and Happy Holidays for those who don't celebrate. For personal reasons, the holidays will be difficult for me, but I won't let it get me down too hard. Several things to catch up on news-wise, some official, some to make even a pirate with the blackest soul and the darkest heart sweat in his eyes. This is in part to save the personal hassle of making separate "Christmas" and "New Year's" blog posts, comparing one set of news with another again, when I can instead do just the one post to cover all bases of 2024.

Pirates 5 - Everyone is tied
It's world-widely known that P5 is the worst in the series, but I also noticed something strange about it. In many scenes, the characters are tied on different parts of their body. Is this a fetish that the directors and the screenwriter had? Lol. Take a look at the pictures below.
July Birthdays and other June news - 2024
, as well as having attempted one proposed story for the fifth Pirates movie, which was shared on the 20th anniversary of the first film. And wouldn't you know it, today is his birthday, so give what could have been Captain Jack's fifth adventure a read as a tribute! Mr. Elliott was initially involved in a screenplay for a new Pirates movie (whether it is the one currently being written by Jeff Nathanson is unknown, though it is likely the case) but it seems Elliott is currently (for now, according to producer Jerry Bruckheimer) attached to National Treasure 3 instead, but that's another story for another day. Funny enough, it may be appropriate, as National Treasure originally focused on stealing the U.S. Declaration of Independence which was or…

PotC Unused Poster Artwork
Hey everyone,
Been literally years since I've been on but anyways, was scrolling on eBay and saw this seller selling unused test artwork of PotC promotional material which got me wondering, does anyone know about these or have any others? Just curious to see because these are very different from what we ended up actually getting and I think I prefer the OST test one as opposed to the final.
Random Saturday Post - First Blog of 2024
Not exactly how I wanted my first post of 2024 to play out, but me funny bone won this round.
I can't seem to think of anything more creative and witty, because the image speaks for itself.
At any rate, other than the usual business, online and offline, some public, some yet to be shared, nothing is particularly new here as of yet. Obviously, if there is any update on the PotC universe, or any major changes on PotC Wiki (believe it or not, there is in the works), you can be sure it'll be shared. As the Wiki continues to be updated, I hope everyone—be it regular user or visitor—is having a wonderful 2024 thus far.
The Curse of the Black Pearl 20th Anniversary - Merry Christmas, Me Hearties, Yo Ho!
Yo-Ho-Ho...Hang on a minute, that's not quite right. Har har! Merry Christmas to you all, my fellow Pirates fans, and Happy Holidays for those who don't celebrate. For personal reasons, the holidays will be difficult for me, but I won't let it get me down too hard. For our celebrations this year, I am going to post some main points of what happened throughout this year in. Whether it be here on Pirates of the Caribbean Wiki or other things to catch up on news-wise, some official, some not, some old, some new, but would nevertheless still make a pirate with the blackest soul and the darkest heart sweat in his or her eyes. This is in part to save the personal hassle of making separate "Christmas" and "New Year's" blog posts, comparing one set…
Questions about Pirates 4, "On Stranger Tides"
First of all, I wanna clarify that I don't hate this movie, I find it quite cute and I like its sense of humor. It was done under happy circumstances, with a good spirit and a pleasant atmosphere, and it's very obvious.
I think it's a bit soulless, though, and it's ironic because it is about the Fountain of Youth, (the water of life, "Aqua de Vida") and the movie itself feels a bit dead. And I think one of the main problems is the music, that doesn't make any sense at all. (Not Zimmer to blame, though, that's all Marshall.)
Anyway.
I have some questions regarding the plot, and I would like to know if there are any logical explanations on certain things that are not explained in the movie, or maybe some deleted scenes that do explain them, but…
On Stranger Tides is a deeply underrated installment
I really deeply never got the hate for this film. Everything from the direction to the writing and the story are in my eyes at least the best continuation they could have done to the first three without ruining them.
Let's address the common complaints:
- "It didn't have Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann". Probably the biggest complaint I keep seeing is that it didn't have Will and Elizabeth. I think out of all of them, this is the stupidest one. No matter how much some people try to say otherwise, Jack is the true protagonist of this film series. Will and Elizabeth had their arc concluded in AWE. But Jack's arc spans all 5 films. Also, their arc was concluded perfectly in AWE. Featuring them would have felt forced and cheap fan service. Also ho…
Had the fantastic experience of seeing Pirates on the big screen again
I had the good fortune of making the voyage to Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre last night, dressed in my pirate-y best! Tickets were far from cheap and the journey was bedeviled by traffic--so much that I only narrowly made it into the theater just as the previews were ending--but suffice to say, the experience was well worth it all. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say this movie shaped my life, and seeing it on the big screen again really was nothing short of fantastic. There was a lively audience as well (no doubt all of them were as insane about Pirates as I am), and with the amount of people losing their collective minds when the principal cast showed up onscreen, it was like I'd stepped out of a time machine to the year 200…
Something about the Wicked Wench’s nameplate.
I’ve taken into account that Jack Sparrow’s ship had a nameplate on her stern as the Wicked Wench but as the Black Pearl there's no sign that a nameplate was ever there. What's the deal with that?
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl returning to theaters July 7-20!

PotC & Indiana Jones
Why do those a******s at Disney keep copying their own movies, over and over again?
Despite the fact that the 5th "Pirates" movie is one of the worst and most ridiculous films I've ever watched, when I saw the new clip from Indy 5, I couldn't help but notice a similar scene.
The main character of the franchise, has sort of lost his former abilities in doing whatever he's supposed to do, he's accompanied by a black-haired younger woman, who is also the daughter of an old friend of the main character, (in Pirates' case, Jack and Barbossa are more like frenemies, but it still counts), and the new female lead is taking over everything, because the main character is a loser. Great.
And on top of that, they even add the same set pieces, like this o…
Dead Men Tell No Tales/Salazar's Revenge - Six Years Later
Ahoy, me maties! Remember what happened on this day, six years ago? The fifth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, titled Dead Men Tell No Tales, (Salazar's Revenge in some countries), was released in Australia, one day before its US release.
You know that feeling, like a hunter at the end of the hunt? You're very, very happy because you finally got your hands on your prey, but you're also kinda sad because the hunt is over. To quote Captain Jack, "It's not the destination so much as the journey." That's how I felt when I left the theatre after I watched On Stranger Tides. But after Dead Men Tell No Tales, I didn't feel so satisfied as before. There was no excitement left in me anymore. The film wasn't great. It was just... okay.
It wasn'…
"Scoundrels of the Seas" pop-up extras
Transcribed from the Blu-ray disc release of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, I present here the pop-up text extras from the "Scoundrels of the Seas" bonus feature. While I have no idea what bearing much of this information may have on canon (it's largely real-world pirate facts), it's still potentially a useful resource to have around here.
- The rhythm of a sea chanty usually coincided with a "heave" or "pull".
- Clothing styles were the same for children as they were for adults.
- Sailors were allotted two ounces of rum a day.
- Even though coats had many buttons, they were not designed to close.
- Bartholomew Roberts, dubbed "Black Bart" for his evil ways, once burned a captured ship and its cargo of slaves.
- This was because the …
Pirates of the Caribbean 6
I think Pirates 6 should dial back from 1700s to 1400s and see Jack Sparrow Discover America!
The Spanish colonization of the Americas began in 1493 on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola after the initial 1492 voyage of Genoese mariner Christopher Columbus under license from the Queen Isabella I of Castile. These overseas territories of the Spanish Empire were under the jurisdiction of Crown of Castile until the last territory was lost in 1898. Spaniards saw the dense populations of indigenous peoples as an important economic resource and the territory claimed as potentially producing great wealth for individual Spaniards and the crown. Religion played an important role in the Spanish conquest and incorporation of indigenous peoples, bringing…
Bought myself something to celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary...
My "Daring Determination" statue finally arrived, and (after a bit of gluing that was needed thanks to the seller’s inadequate packaging) I’m so happy with her! She was originally released for the 5th anniversary of “The Curse of the Black Pearl”, and it only feels fitting that I should get my hands on one in the months leading up to its 20th (God, I can't believe it's been that long).
DisneyPirates.com lore, part 2
As mentioned in another comment, there was also a timeline/list of events on the '09-10 version of the Disney Pirates site. There isn't a whole lot of information here that isn't already seen in the films themselves, but we do get more details on how Jack got himself into the Turkish Prison + a statement that "about two months" passed between P2 and P3.

DisneyPirates.com lore unearthed!
