Johnny Depp returns with wit and humor while Javier Bardem steals the spotlight by giving us goosebumps as he delivers a haunting performance.

For that, he needs to find Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) so that together, they can retrieve the Trident of Poseidon, which is the only way to break the curse.
