Pirates of the Caribbean

Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow may have been the face of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, but Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner ...

It's possible that Bloom's rapport with Depp kept the door open for his return in " Dead Men Tell No Tales." Of course, he wasn't given all that much to do, and the continuation of Will Turner's story felt a bit forced in the grand scheme, so maybe Bloom was right all along about where Will belonged. I couldn't fathom a "Pirates" movie — a good "Pirates" movie, at least — without them. "I just really wanted to do different things, but I think it's going to be great. Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow may have been the face of the " Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, but Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) were definitely the heart of it. Sure, there were mermaids (and Penelope Cruz!), but each stilted attempt to introduce a new romance just served as a painful reminder that Will and Elizabeth were nowhere to be found. To me, it was Will and Elizabeth that made the series worth watching.
