12 Awesome Moments From Super Bowl 2017 Trailers

8. Lots Of Johnny Cash, Not Much Johnny Depp - Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Fate Of The Furious Trailer
Disney

Disney were clearly aiming to change minds with their new trailer for the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, which in total honestly doesn't look that bad.

It certainly helps that the trailer employs excellent use of Johnny Cash's hauntingly iconic tune, "Ain't No Grave", implying a darker tone regardless of whether that's actually the case in the final movie.

Also, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow appears for just three seconds at the end of the trailer, covered in mud (or some similar substance), throwing down a coin, saying, "Pirate's life..." and holding up a bottle of rum.

This is likely a deliberate move by Disney to downplay Depp's involvement due to his recent personal scandals, though it seems likely his part in the movie is still the center-piece (short of some clever and risky re-editing).
