One of the surprises on the first day of Comic-Con was a teaser introduction to the fourth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Following the Disney panel for Tron: Legacy the following video played with Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow vaguely laying out the central plot for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The movie is currently filming and is slated for release on May 20, 2011.
In this action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise, Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), and he’s not sure if it’s love–or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.
