This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]503357[/split]
If Barbossa survives this I'm hoping he ditches that wig getup and dons his old pirate garb by the end of the movie.
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.
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 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 isBarbossa's long lost daughter.
Link?
The young male character is apparently Will and Elizabeth's son.

Who's the bald lady with the red lines all over her face?
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.
