New Character Poster for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES Features Blackbeard the Pirate
The final character poster has been released for Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and it features Ian McShane as Blackbeard the Pirate. McShane looks awesome as this character, and he's the only reason I have any interest at all in watching this movie.
The blackest soul and the darkest heart of any pirate who ever lived, striking fear into the bravest of sailors. Blackbeard, a name uttered in terror by all who sail the sea, or any unfortunate enough to encounter him on dry land. His flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, is manned by zombies, festooned with the bones of his victims and spits fire from its bow to incinerate enemy ships, or the occasional crew member fallen out of favor. Blackbeard dabbles in the Black Arts and wields a sword imbedded with one of the three sapphires of Triton. But Blackbeard lives under the shadow of a prophesied death, his only hope the restorative waters of the Fountain of Youth. Whatever it takes, no matter who is crushed beneath the weight of his heartless ambition, Blackbeard will get there, by any possible means.
