Johnny Depp will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow along with Geoffrey Rush (Barbossa), and Kevin R. McNally (Joshamee Gibbs).
Via Disney:
Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil's Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea...including him. Captain Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.
Javier Bardem, Kaya Scodelario ("The Maze Runner"), Brenton Thwaites ("Maleficent"), and Golshifteh Farahani ("Exodus: Gods and Kings") will join the cast.
