Capt. Jack Cheers

This is why Johnny Depp is such a star.

The actor took the time to shoot a special-for-Comic-Con video tease to preview next summer’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stanger Tides, footage that, of course, was received with frenzied cheers – and that a few days later has the Internet buzzing as well.

Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow confirms, but then again doesn’t, that the fourthquel revolves around his character’s search for the fountain of youth while facing “varied and substantial dangers along the way, including but not limited to zombies, cutthroats, mermaids, and the vicious and vivacious Penélope Cruz.”



I really hope the movie, which opens next May, is half as clever as this tease.
