Short description
Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Capt. Jack Sparrow feels the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost sailors led by his old nemesis, the evil Capt. Salazar, escape from the Devil's Triangle. Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it, he must forge an uneasy alliance with a brilliant and beautiful astronomer and a headstrong young man in the British navy.
What's left behind the scenes
- The candidacy of Fredrik Bond, Tim Burton, Alfonso Cuarón, Shawn Levy, Sam Raimi, Rupert Sanders, and Chris Weitz were considered for the role of director of the film.
- Ansel Elgort, Brenton Thwaites, Taron Egerton, George MacKay, and Sam Keeley were considered for the role of Henry. Thwaites was ultimately chosen.
- During filming in Australia, Johnny Depp injured his hand and was forced to return to the United States.
- The shortlist for the role of the film's main female character included Lucy Boynton, Gabriella Wilde, Jenna Thiam, Kaya Scodelario, and Alexandra Dowling. When Brenton Thwaites was selected for the role of Henry, the studio arranged screen tests with the actresses on the shortlist. As a result, it was decided that Scodelario was the best fit for the role of his love interest.
- In terms of length, this installment is the shortest in the entire series.
- Christoph Waltz was in negotiations to play the main antagonist in the film, but ultimately declined.
- The director Joachim Rønning's two children appear in the film as extras.
- Filming began on February 17, 2015. Ship scenes were filmed in front of a giant outdoor chroma key in Helensvale. Filming moved to Doug Jennings Park from March 30 to June 15, 2015 for water scenes. However, due to severe seasickness among the cast and crew, filming was moved to Raby Bay for calmer water scenes. Scenes were filmed in Lennox Head on June 1st. Scenes depicting the sperm whale skeleton were filmed in Hastings Point from June 21st to 23rd.
- In some countries, including English-speaking ones, the film was released under the title «Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales».
- Ansel Elgort, Brenton Thwaites, Taron Egerton, George MacKay, and Sam Claflin were considered for the role of Henry. Thwaites was ultimately chosen.

When Brenton Thwaites was selected for the role of Henry, the studio organized screen tests for him with the actresses on the shortlist. As a result, it was decided that Scodelario was best suited to play the character's love interest.
- Two of director Joachim Rønning's children appear in the film as extras.
- Filming took place during Johnny Depp's divorce, which caused him to be consistently late to the set, inevitably affecting the schedule and filming timeline.
- Applying makeup to Javier Bardem's face for the role of Salazar took three hours, while the character's hair was a product of computer technology.
- Kaya Scodelario repeatedly consulted with screenwriter Jeff Nathanson to ensure her character, Carina Smyth, wouldn't become a copy of Elizabeth Swann, played by Keira Knightley.
- The film was shot in 95 days, followed by a year of post-production.
- Keira Knightley declined to reprise her role in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, while her former co-star Orlando Bloom (who played Will Turner) stated he was open to considering it. Knightley said filming had been great, but she had already given the franchise five years of her life and didn't plan to return. When fans of the franchise learned of Bloom's return, they demanded the producers also bring back Knightley, so scenes with her were filmed at the very last moment.
- The film sets tried to shield themselves from the presence of franchise fans, so anyone interested was told they were filming "Herschel" here.
