I could be wrong but looking at the cast list the only character from the 4th movie to continue is Scrum. Yay.... wait.... no, not excited.
It's not the same actress so I doubt it. The characters name is listed as Carina Smith
This was listed in the character's bio on IMDB, not sure how accurate it is:
Though women had no right to study at university in her time, Carina Smyth fought against that rule. She eventually came in possession of a diary with clues that would lead to the mystical trident of Poseidon. Along the way, she encountered the infamous pirate Jack Sparrow.
Interesting to see Barbossa back in his privateering uniform considering how 4 ended...
Ah ok , I just thought it was her from the bit of trailer screen time. Made sense she was fleeing from the water to me.
I think it was rumored she was going to be Barbossa's daughter?
I noticed she was a bit more buxom than the mermaid from POTC 4 so figured it couldn't be her. Also, the mermaid didn't develop legs until after she was out of the water and this girl is running while in the water. Not sure how well the rules apply.
Could be his daughter, why not.... Seems all this continues to just be a sordid confusing family affair. Will was Bootstraps kid, Jack is Teagues kid, Henry is Will's kid, Angelica was Blackbeards kid..... maybe she's Jack's kid who will marry Will's kid? hahaha
It seems to have a lot of the same elements as the first POTC movie which is not surprising.
That's funny, 'cause I watched the trailer and thought, "Oh good, another bloated, incoherent mess of a movie." :lolI loved the first Pirates movie, but 2-4 are bloated, incoherent messes. This new trailer was great and gives me hope that the movie will be more like the original and not like the awful sequels.
Jack in a cell with a young brown haired proper young man trying to free him so he can help him do something (maybe save the girl?).... a strong willed woman that has an obvious attraction to the more docile young man while they have a back and forth sparring relationship. Jack having a long history with a "cursed" magical villain and a cursed magical ship/crew.I can't help but disagree. Besides that weird curse-like effect Salazar&co have, and a hanging, from what the trailer revealed, everything else is more along the lines of what we saw in the third and fourth movies..

I had forgotten about that, but yes. It seems like they're trying certain things we've seen in CBP again, to perhaps give it that feel, that same sense of adventure. There was something nostalgic about it.Jack in a cell with a young brown haired proper young man trying to free him so he can help him do something (maybe save the girl?).... a strong willed woman that has an obvious attraction to the more docile young man while they have a back and forth sparring relationship.

Nothing like the first one, you're right.....
I entirely agree with you that it's more of the same crap (see above ;-) ) but isn't that the thing in the POTC movies? Barbossa, Davy Jones, blackbeard, Salazar... all magical unkillable villains with a history with Jack (aside from Blackbeard but his daughter took that on). Jack trying to save his hide while in the end he does the right thing?
I'd love a prequel but I can't see anyone playing a young Sparrow in the right way. And is he really tied to the point of ruining a prequel properly? Salazar from the trailer just seems to be a moment in Jack's career whereas Cutler Beckett seemed to have much more established history with Sparrow.

And it is the thing with POTC movies and I'm just not a fan of it. I dislike that the franchise went in that direction. CotBP had a magical curse affecting the BPs crew and that was it. The 'crap' was out of proportion by the third movie. DMC had a bit more than what was in CotBP but still nowhere near what the third movie had, however, the other gimmicky crap I don't like about the franchise actually started in DMC. And that is the often absurd sword fights in the movies. Repetitive; not immersive.
Also, I meant Salazar being tied to Sparrow's early life, not the prequel I wish we'd get. But perhaps you're right. Maybe Salazar is inconsequential to Jack's life. That's probably it since Jack seems to not know who he is and he's probably just yet another guy out to get him.
I want to be optimistic, but that trailer makes it look like they're just piling supernatural elements on top of supernatural elements at this point, and I really wonder if there's a story beyond that or if it'll just be more of the same. Sadly, my money's on the latter.Oh, I won't be surprised if it turns out like that, but I'm trying to remain optimistic and hope that maybe they can go out on a high note rather than repeating the mistakes of the sequels.
