The trailer opens with a haunting image of the sea at night, illuminated by a blood moon. The waves churn violently, and a ghostly ship emerges from the mist—the Flying Dutchman. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), captain of the cursed vessel, stands at the helm, troubled by nightmares. His face is etched with fear as he mutters, “Something’s coming…something we cannot stop.”
A flashback shows the tragic moment from the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, when Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) was dragged to the depths, supposedly lost forever. But now, something stirs beneath the ocean. A distant, foreboding voice whispers, “The sea never forgets… and neither does the abyss.”
Cut to a weathered and more somber Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), living in hiding on a remote island, far from his former adventures. He’s approached by Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites), who bears alarming news. Will Turner’s curse has worsened, and something dark has risen from the sea. Jack, despite his reluctance, realizes the threat is bigger than he imagined. “Davy Jones is back, and he’s madder than ever,” Jack quips, the gravity of the situation veiled in his trademark humor.
The trailer shifts into high gear as we see the resurrection of Davy Jones in a thunderous scene. The ocean parts, revealing the monstrous form of Jones, now more powerful, his tentacled face even more grotesque, and his heartless vendetta renewed. He seeks not just revenge but total domination over the seas, bent on controlling the very forces of life and death.
A montage of thrilling battles follows—Jack and his crew aboard the Black Pearl clashing with Jones’ terrifying crew of sea creatures, Will battling to keep his humanity as the Flying Dutchman becomes more cursed, and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) rejoining the fight to save her husband and son.
In the trailer’s climactic moments, Davy Jones confronts Jack. “You owe me a soul, Sparrow!” Jones snarls. Jack, standing his ground, smirks. “Funny thing about souls… they’re slippery little devils.”
The final shot shows an epic sea battle, lightning cracking across the sky, as the Flying Dutchman and Black Pearl charge toward each other. The screen goes black, and the words: “The legend returns.”
