Penelope Cruz's Role Revealed in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 4

Last month we reported that both Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane were cast in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. McShane was perfectly cast as Blackbeard the Pirate but we had now idea what role Cruz would play until today. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed in an interview with MTV that Cruz would take the role of Blackbeard's daughter in the film. 

She plays the daughter of Blackbeard. She's the daughter of the bad guy. She brings a lot of humor to it, and the fact that she's so feisty. (There will also be) a little romance between [Depp's] Captain Jack and the character that Penelope plays.

He also adds that Blackbeard is "the nastiest pirate ever," and that Geoffrey Rush who played Barbossa in the first three films will be back in the fourth. I can't say I'm too excited about seeing this fourth Pirates film. I know it's got a new director, Rob Marshall, and that they're taking it in a whole new direction, but I'm just not that excited about this one. Although I love that McShane was cast as Blackbeard.
