(Cut to Angelica slapping Jack) "Penélope Cruz joins as Angelica, a woman who matches Jack’s cunning and holds a grudge. And the villain? Ian McShane’s Blackbeard—a pirate who literally sets his own beard on fire."

Here is developed content for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), the fourth film in the series.

(Shot of mermaid rising) "Plus: killer mermaids, a zombie crew, and the most expensive movie Disney ever made. It’s messy, it’s weird, but is it really that bad?"

Blackbeard seeks the Fountain to reverse a prophecy of his death by a one-legged man (Barbossa). The British, now led by Barbossa (who has a peg leg and serves the King), also race for the Fountain. The journey requires two silver chalices, a mermaid’s tear, and a specific ritual. A subplot follows a captured mermaid, Syrena, and a young missionary, Philip, who falls in love with her.
