Johnny Depp returns as Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales." Although the trailer did not have a full feature of the popular movie pirate, he returns in full regalia in the recently released poster.

Johnny Depp's character Jack Sparrow was not featured prominently in previously released trailer of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales." Although he's still going to be at the center of the story, his presence was missed as he often ushers the anticipation through the trailers.

But he's full presence is back in the recently released posters at Screen Rant. Three new posters were released: the first poster feature only Sparrows' face gesturing someone to keep quite while the other posters feature Sparrow, Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), Henry (Brenton Thwaites) and Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario).

The story of the upcoming film will focus on Salazar's quest in finding Sparrow for revenge while the popular pirate. Sparrow's only hope: Trident of Poseidon - believed to have the power to control the seas.

While Depp's character is going to play the central role in the upcoming sequel, one other character is set to return from the original trilogy. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) is back after missing in the fourth installment of the movie series according to Cinema Blend. At the end of the trilogy, Will Turner became the captain of Flying Dutchman - an act that made him inseparable to the ship and the sea.

Turner's return to the sequel made sense since this will be one of the biggest challenges for Sparrow. Compared to the fourth installment, someone is actually after the popular pirate so he'll need all the protection and support he can get. As one of his strongest allies in the sea, Turner will naturally play a big role.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" sails to theaters worldwide this May 2017.
