Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End Movie Cast & Characters:
- Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow: Sparrow and the Black Pearl have been dragged to Davy Jones’ Locker by the Kraken; he is trapped there until his former crew mounts a rescue party. He is the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea.
- Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann: Governor Swann’s daughter and Will Turner’s fiancée. Having tricked Jack Sparrow into being swallowed by the Kraken to save herself and the Black Pearl crew, she subsequently goes to his rescue. Swann becomes Captain of The Empress and Pirate Lord of the South China Seas as successor to Feng, and becomes the Pirate King by default as a result of the Bretheren Court vote.
- Orlando Bloom as Will Turner: A young blacksmith-turned-pirate, the son of “Bootstrap Bill” Turner, and later the husband of Elizabeth Swann. Turner becomes Captain of The Flying Dutchman after the ritual is performed to save his life.
- Stellan Skarsgård as Bootstrap Bill Turner: Will’s father, cursed to serve an eternity aboard Davy Jones’ ship The Flying Dutchman. As he slowly loses hope, he also loses his humanity to the ship, and becomes mentally confused, barely recognizing his own son in the second half of the film.
- Bill Nighy as Davy Jones: Malevolent ruler of the ocean realm, Captain of The Flying Dutchman. With his heart captured by James Norrington, he is now enslaved to Cutler Beckett who commanded him to kill the Kraken (“your pet”), and now serves the East India Trading Company, though he remains volatile and makes life difficult for the soldiers policing him.
- Chow Yun-fat as Sao Feng: Pirate Lord of the South China Sea, he captains the Chinese ship The Empress and has a poor history with Sparrow. He is reluctant to aid in his rescue from Davy Jones’ Locker. “Sao Feng” (嘯風) means “Howling Wind” in Chinese. Chow was confirmed to be playing Feng in July 2005 while production of the second film was on hiatus. Chow relished playing the role, even helping out crew members with props.
- Geoffrey Rush as Hector Barbossa: Once first mate of the Black Pearl under Jack’s command before leading a mutiny, Barbossa has been resurrected by Tia Dalma to captain the rescue of Jack Sparrow. He was also needed for his “piece of eight” to free Calypso. Rush said that in the film, Barbossa becomes more of a cunning politician. He is the Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea.
- Jack Davenport as James Norrington: Promoted to the rank of admiral in return for giving Beckett Jones’ heart, he has allied himself with Beckett and the Company, although he still cares for Elizabeth, his former fiancée, and finds himself torn between his duty and his growing dislike for Beckett.
- Kevin R. McNally as Joshamee Gibbs: Jack’s loyal, if superstitious, first mate.
- Naomie Harris as Tia Dalma/Calypso: An obeah witch who travels with the Black Pearl crew to rescue Jack; she also raised Barbossa from the dead at the conclusion of Dead Man’s Chest and has a mysterious past connection to Davy Jones.
- Tom Hollander as Cutler Beckett: A powerful chairman of the East India Trading Company and now armed with a mandate from the King and in possession of Davy Jones’ heart, Beckett attempts to control the world’s oceans for the sake of sustainable business—and to end piracy.
- Jonathan Pryce as Weatherby Swann: Governor of Port Royal and father to Elizabeth Swann, he is now trapped in Beckett’s service.
- Lee Arenberg and Mackenzie Crook as Pintel and Ragetti: A mischievous and eccentric duo, part of Jack’s crew.
- David Bailie as Cotton: Jack’s loyal mute crewman who returns again to join the quest to bring back Sparrow.
- Martin Klebba as Marty: Jack’s dwarf crewman who also joins the quest to bring back Sparrow.
- Keith Richards as Captain Teague: Pirate Lord of Madagascar, Keeper of the Pirata Codex for the Brethren Court and Jack Sparrow’s father.The other pirate lords are visibly terrified of him. Richards, who partially inspired Depp’s portrayal of Sparrow,[9] was first rumored to have a role as Sparrow’s father in 2004, and later reported in 2006. He was meant to appear in Dead Man’s Chest, but there was no room for him in the story, as well as his being tied up with a Rolling Stones tour. He almost missed filming a scene in At World’s End, following injuries sustained by falling out of a tree. In June 2006, Verbinski finally managed to make room in Richards’ schedule to shoot that September.
- David Schofield as Mr. Mercer: Lord Beckett’s henchman, assigned to hold Davy Jones’ leash aboard the Dutchman.
- Greg Ellis as Theodore Groves: The second-in-command to Lord Beckett.
- Lauren Maher and Vanessa Branch as Scarlett and Giselle
- Angus Barnett and Giles New as Mullroy and Murtogg
- Reggie Lee as Tai Huang
- Ghassan Massoud as Captain Ammand, the Pirate Lord of the Black Sea
- Marcel Iureș as Capitaine Chevalle, the Pirate Lord of the Mediterranean Sea
- Sergio Calderón as Captain Eduardo Villanueva, Pirate Lord of the Adriatic Sea
- Takayo Fischer as Mistress Ching, the Pirate Lord of the Pacific Ocean
- Hakeem Kae-Kazim as Gentleman Jocard, the Pirate Lord of the Atlantic Ocean
- Marshall Manesh as Sri Sumbhajee, Pirate Lord of the Indian Ocean
- Dominic Scott Kay as young Henry Turner, the son of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Scott Kay was credited as young Will Turner, and was retroactively named young Henry Turner following the release of Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Storyline:
After Elizabeth, Will, and Captain Barbossa rescue Captain Jack Sparrow from the land of the dead, they must face their foes, Davy Jones and Lord Cutler Beckett. Beckett, now with control of Jones’ heart, forms a dark alliance with him in order to rule the seas and wipe out the last of the Pirates. Now, Jack, Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, Tia Dalma, and crew must call the Pirate Lords from the four corners of the globe, including the infamous Sao Feng, to gathering. The Pirate Lords want to release the goddess Calypso, Davy Jones’s damned lover, from the trap they sent her to out of fear, in which the Pirate Lords must combine the 9 pieces that bound her by ritual to undo it and release her in hopes that she will help them fight. With this, all pirates will stand together and will make their final stand for freedom against Beckett, Jones, Norrington, the Flying Dutchman, and the entire East India Trading Company.
