Orlando Bloom Back For Pirates Sequel
Orlando Bloom will once again play Will Turner in the latest Pirates of the Caribbean sequel Dead Men Tell No Tales. Bloom was last seen sailing off on the high seas at the end of the original trilogy, but didn’t feature in the forth film On Stranger Tides.
The news of Bloom’s unexpected return was confirmed officially at the Disney D23 Expo over the weekend. The studio also released an official synopsis for the new film, which also stars Javier Bardem as new villain Captain Salazar.
“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, 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.”
