Warning: Major spoilers for Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge await ye, garrrrr, AKA Dead Men Tell No Tales in the US, is now in cinemas and.As well as being the strongest sequel, Salazar's Revenge manages the fine balance of being both a soft reboot and a satisfying potential finale to the whole franchise. Box office figures aren't in as we write, but we're willing to go out on a limb and suggest it'll make a boatload of cash.So it would make no sense for Disney to park this beast just yet – here's what you can expect from going forward. Here's where everyone is nowDeep breath.Here's where the main players are and who might return:JACKFirst and easiest is Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) who, after five films' worth of curses, debts and narrow escapes, is, at the end of Salazar's Revenge, alive, well and in control of the Black Pearl. He's sailing off on new adventures with trusty first mate Gibbs (Kevin McNally).WILL and ELIZABETHWith their son Henry (Brenton Thwaites) lifting all curses at sea by breaking the Trident of Poseidon, Will Turner is freed from the Flying Dutchman and reunited with his wife Elizabeth Swann. Will was cursed when he stabbed the heart of Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) in At World's End, leading to Davy tumbling into the maelstrom, but more on him in a bit. DisneyBARBOSSAHowever, freeing Will from the curse came at a heavy cost as Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) sacrificed himself to save his daughter Carina (Kaya Scodelario).

The series began with 2003’s risky Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which introduced audiences to Depp’s grizzled, Keith Richards-inspired Sparrow character, and became a surprise smash, earning more than $300 million in the U.S. (and landing Depp an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor).

But at least it meant that Salazar (Javier Bardem) was defeated as, having been turned human again, he falls to his supposed doom at the bottom of the ocean.CARINA and HENRYIt seems very possible that any continuation of the franchise would include our young newcomers Henry and Carina.We'd be keen to see more of Kaya Scodelario's independent astronomer, yet, Salazar's Revenge gives no hint that she has a desire to be a pirate. Like Henry getting his father back, Carina's one big quest to find the Trident of Poseidon is already complete – though that certainly doesn't rule her out from further quests.Perhaps the discovery of her heritage – namely that's she's Barbossa's daughter, could provide some motivation? Maybe she'll even find a way to bring daddy back from the dead? Of course, Barbossa has returned from the dead before in Dead Man's Chest, so it's not necessarily the end for him. Stranger things have happened at sea.
