Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

I'm starting to think they may have taken Barbossa in a Governor Henry Morgan direction, and officially have him be a retired pirate in this film running an island in exchange for services to the crown. Salazar sparing him and trying to use him to find Jack wouldn't make that much sense if Barbossa's just the pirate captain of a magic ship that still can't catch the Pearl, nor would it make much sense if that's the same case and he's just a privateer. However, a Governor Hector Barbossa? With control over an islands resources and a small flotilla including the Queen Anne's Revenge? I can see that being useful to Salazar, and perhaps even the honor of the position would encourage Salazar to treat Barbossa like a fellow gentleman.

And who knows? Perhaps Barbossa will have a subplot of trying to wrangle Henry, Caterina, and Jack into stopping Salazar all while still pretending to follow Salazar's orders.

Also, the trailer seems to be playing Henry as having a funny combination of Will and Elizabeth's personalities when they were law abiding, with some of Elizabeth's endearing idealism and Will's properness. Just the dorky smile he has when he says "I saw her ankles!" Seems to speak of his parents, and for some reason I love the idea of him being this dork with Jack as an honorary dirty uncle.

Barbossa doesn't give a damn about the Crown. He made that explicitly clear in his last scene in OST. With Blackbeard's sword in his possession he is invincible. He doesn't need the Royal Navy's protection anymore. As for Salazar's deal with Barbossa, I see that more like the Help-me-find-Sparrow-and-I-promise-I'll-kill-you-last kind of arrangement.
 
He doesn't have to care about the crown; he just has to be old enough and greedy enough to settle for a generous retirement package of his own island to run and be the boss of. And since the Royal Navy was desperate enough to hire him in the first place, and since he accomplished his mission, or could at least pretend he did, the Crown may very well decide "Eh, he's outlived Beckett and Norrigton, and he keeps getting stronger, might as well just see if he can run the place."

Really, though, I'm just trying to figure out why the heck he's wearing that stupid wig and hat and dressing a bit fancier than he was at the end of On Strange Tides. I mean, he had a ship that arguably fit his far more aggressive and assertive personality better than the Pearl, and you can tell that he's taken up employing his own prophetess quartermaster in the trailer, so he's gone full Blackbeard/Long John Silver hybrid. So why is it he's ditched a good piratical look?

I'm not a fan of him being a privateer again. And I'm really not certain about the governor idea. But... I could see something like his quartermaster telling him of his impending doom within a certain amount of time, so he's going to try craftily avoiding it but also enjoying a few years of retirement in power. And since his wig does seem to confer official power like Governor Swann's, well, I could see them adding Henry Morgan to his inspirations.

Maybe he's just trying to fool Salazar into thinking he's still a legitimate British privateer and his usual pirate garb is in his cabin.
 
There's at least one scene where Barbossa is totally trying to just bull**** his way through a meeting with a ghost with a major hard-on for killing pirates by insisting he's actually a privateer while sailing the Queen Anne's Revenge with his personal skull-and-crossed-swords emblem emblazoned on the sails right in front of Salazar's face. So either way, we're going to see massive cajones on Barbossa in a few scenes.

And there's more moments in the trailers showing him wearing the wig and hat without Salazar being present, so either there's a ghost spy on board, or he has reasons for wearing that get-up everywhere. I guess I'd rather see Barbossa be a kind of combination of himself and Norrington for a movie, commanding the redcoats trying to hang Carina and chasing Jack, but all while still trying to help them and eventually joining them (we see at least one scene of Barbossa following Jack and Carina around some otherworldly place.) Barbossa is a Rule's Lawyer, and if he had serious power, I could see him mixing politics and piracy at his leisure. Just imagine scenes where Salazar really, really wants to kill Barbossa as a pirate, but his twisted sense of honor makes him respect Barbossa's actual royal appointment, even if he has to ignore Barbossa making an island a haven for Porates and Privateers. And you could just make it clear that Barbossa represents "Buccaneers" and draw the Henry Morgan parallel, and probably be good.

Barbossa has always liked "the finer things". Its one of the reasons he stole the cursed gold. You dont still gold and pirate if you dont care about material things. And even after being miserable and cursed he still had a fondness for nice hats. So him wearing a wig ( a common fashion item in the 18th century) and nice clothes and a nice hat really isnt strange. There is also the fact that this film doesnt pick up immediately after OST. For all we know he pirated for a few more years with the QAR and then decided to take up a fancier lifestyle again.

I just saw the new trailer, are the 2 Will & Elizabeth clones related to them?

Carina is not related to Will and Elizabeth, but according to a guy on reddit who claims he saw the unfinished version of the film, she is
Barbossa's long lost daughter.

The young male character is apparently Will and Elizabeth's son.

That would make sense, he's similar to him and it would parallel Will's story with him finding his father in the same predicament.

Intriguing. :hmm
 
Pirates' Brenton Thwaites Reveals What He & Johnny Depp Talked About on Set

Brenton Thwaites gives the camera a smoldering stare on the cover of At Large Magazine, Issue 8, on newsstands March 23.

Here’s what the 27-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales star had to share with the mag:

On working with Johnny Depp: “Johnny was one of my favorite actors – still is. Our conversations were usually along the lines of his opinions about certain guitars; we both have a pretty big passion for guitars. And he was about to go off with the Hollywood Vampires, his group with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry from Aerosmith. But there were a few things I was asking Johnny in terms of the acting books he’d studied, the actors he admired as a kid. He was pretty open to me about all that stuff. He has such a great energy. He’s so positive. And in between ‘acting’ and ‘cut,’ he’s amazing.”

On his Pirates of the Caribbean 5 role: “I play a young soldier in the Royal Navy called Henry. He makes an unlikely alliance with Jack Sparrow and Carina Smyth, who’s played by Kaya Scodelario, in order to find a certain treasure they’re all looking for; something that will help each of their individual causes and all of their problems.”
