Johnny Depp to star in Pirates of the Caribbean 2

We’ve been pretty remiss in covering the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean sequel lately, so it’s about time I gave you an update. For starters, there will be a Pirates of the Caribbean 2. See how far behind we are?

Returning will be Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow and he’ll be joined by the guy he pattered the character after in the first place, Keith Richards as Jack Sparrow’s dad.

The rest of the principles are back too, which is surprising when you consider how busy Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are looking pretty. Which is prettier I leave up to you, dear reader.

New castmembers include Stellan Skarsgård as Bootstrap Bill, Naomi Harris as a gypsy queen, and Chow Yun Fat as some sort of mustache wearing Chinese pirate rejected from an adventure of Sinbad.

The newest actor to join the crew is Alex Norton as a sea captain named Captain Bellamy. You might know Alex Norton from absolutely nowhere, but he was in the very nice but quickly forgotten Count of Monte Cristo with that guy who played Jesus.
