'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales': Johnny Depp Throws Grapes At The Crowd

Johnny Depp appeared at the D23 Expo as Captain Jack Sparrow, a role that he will be reprising in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” There was also an announcement at the event that confirmed Orlando Bloom’s return as Will Turner.

Disney showcased some of their forthcoming projects at the D23 event recently. A video of the event posted on the YouTube channel of ScreenSlam shows the President of Production at Walt Disney Studious Sean Bailey talking about Depp’s next film as Jack.

Bailey said that in his opinion the movie franchise is unlike any other franchise in the industry; in terms of the adventure, comedy, drama and the ability of these movies to “transport viewers to another world.” While introducing the cast members in the movie, Bailey noted that actors Brenton Thwaites (Henry) and Kaya Scodelario (Carina Smith) will be joining the franchise this time around.

Carina was revealed to be a “brilliant young scientist” who will be seeking a treasure that has the power to “unlock an eternal curse.” Bailey later announced that Bloom will be reprising his role as Will Turner in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” and noted that the character hasn’t been seen on the big screen for a while now.

Depp walked onto the stage with a bunch of grapes in his hands after the main cast was introduced. The actor was in full costume of Jack Sparrow and stayed in character while on stage. According to a report by Hypable, he also threw some of the grapes at the crowd.

Depp has often appeared in public wearing his full costume in the past few months and has stayed in character while interacting with the fans who came to meet him on the sets of the movie in Australia. According to a report by Variety, the actor also visited Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in Brisbane, Australia dressed as Jack.

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” is slated to be released on July 6, 2017 in Australia. The main plot of the movie revolves around Jack Sparrow looking for the Trident of Poseidon that will give its wielder power over the seas.
