![]() But they work it out because they’re a power couple. ![]() Will sees them kiss and is really pissed, and Elizabeth feels too guilty to admit what she did, so Will spends the beginning of the third film, At World’s End, thinking that Elizabeth is in love with Jack. We swoon.Īs Dead Man’s Chest opens, their wedding is disrupted, which Elizabeth is particularly pissed about because she was “so ready to be married.”Īt the end of the film when it looks like the Kraken is going to take everyone down just to get to Jack, Elizabeth tricks Jack by kissing him in order to chain him to the Black Pearl so everyone else can escape. Let’s reminisce about their love, shall we? Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann meet when they’re twelve, and even though she’s a Governor’s daughter and he goes on to be a lowly blacksmith, as they get older they’re both feeling it.After their adventure in The Curse of the Black Pearl, they decide enough is enough, declare their love, and have their first kiss. It’s him, and it’s her, and they’re in a Pirates movie again. She’s in the movie for a very, very short time and doesn’t even say anything, but it doesn’t matter. It was supposed to remain a secret, but when the news leaked Disney decided to go with it and put a shot in one of the trailers that officially revealed that Keira Knightley was going to have a part in Dead Men Tell No Tales, something that was not previously the case.ĭuring test screenings for the film, one of the most consistent questions from audiences was “Where is Elizabeth Swann?” Since Keira Knightley had turned down a role because she wasn’t up for the time commitment these movies require, a plan was devised to go to London and film around her existing schedule. Still, some Will Turner is better than no Will Turner at all. Brenton Thwaites’ character Henry, Will and Elizabeth’s son, was clearly going to take up the mantle of Romantic Male Lead. The announcement that Orlando Bloom was returning for this movie was welcome news, but his sad fate- becoming the cursed captain of the Flying Dutchman at the end of the third Pirates film- made it obvious that Will wasn’t going to jump right back into the fray. Jack Sparrow is a fun character, but for me Will and Elizabeth were the emotional center of the films, and the fact that they were missing from On Stranger Tides is a big reason that chapter didn’t do it for me. ![]() Dead Men Tell No Tales definitely swings back towards the vibe of the first three films, and while there are some definite plot hole issues and rewriting of previously established canon, there’s a lot for diehard Pirates fans to be very happy about. ![]() Well, I’ve seen it, and I haven’t been so happy to be proven wrong in quite some time. I assumed that Dead Men Tell No Tales was going to continue along that downward trajectory, and dig the franchise into an even deeper hole when it should have been left well enough alone. For me though, it lacked a lot of the magic that made me adore the original trilogy. There were definitely some cool elements: it brought mermaids into the story, which is something I was surprised wasn’t included sooner, and it was certainly more fun than a lot of movies are. The fourth film, On Stranger Tides, was…fine. I was slightly less than- and by that I mean not at all- enthused that a fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie was being made.
