Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
did not just drop anchor—it blew the whole ship out of the water. With slapstick flair, wild-eyed characters, and Johnny Depp redefining pirate swagger as Captain Jack Sparrow, Disney struck gold.

Anticipation for Chapter Six has reached a boiling point, with fans eager for another high-seas adventure. Here is the full scoop on the next epic voyage.
