Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 post-credit scene hints at the return of Will Turner's old enemy
The focus of the extra clip could suggest that Pirates 6 could focus more on Elizabeth and Turner and their eight-armed nemesis.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge (aka Dead Men Tell No Tales) released in cinemas on 26 May to a few good reviews. But despite the much anticipated return of Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and the debut of Javier Bardem's evil Captain Salazar, there is already more talk about the post credits scene.
Warning: Spoilers ahead
From the trailer of Pirates 5, we knew that Orlando Bloom aka Jack Turner was going to make a comeback (finally), after spending years as the captain of the Flying Dutchman – a position he was forced to take over from Davy Jones in the franchise's third instalment, At World's End.
Now, 10 years after the Pirates 2 releases, (and two decades in Caribbean time) Turner finally makes it back to his love Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), looking a lot worse for wear from escorting souls lost at sea to the next world.
But it does not look like the reunion will stay happy and peaceful for long. The post-credit scene shows the couple sleeping peacefully in their bed as an octopus tentacle is seen moving outside their bedroom door.
Turner wakes up due to the slight noise but doses off again, thinking that nothing is amiss. The camera then moves to the floor near the bed where along with a pool of sea water, octopus sucker marks are clearly visible.
The question on everyone's mind: Is Davy Jones set to make his return in Pirates Of The Caribbean 6? In At World's End, Sparrow kills Jones by stabbing his heart, but if the tentacles are any indication, this old enemy is back for revenge!
Until Disney formally announces its plans for a Pirates 6, we will just have to make do with Salazar's Revenge, which released in cinemas on 26 May.
Check out some of the reviews the film has received up until now:
IBTimes UK: Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge ticks all the boxes on paper. Not only does it do what it says on the tin, it ditches the overstuffed plots which dampened At World's End and On Stranger Tides for a much more simple tale of retribution.
The New York Times: Its pleasures are so meager, its delight in its own inventions so forced and false, that it becomes almost the perfect opposite of entertainment.
Forbes: Dead Men Tell No Tales isn't as good as the first three films, but it's better than the fourth film.
Variety: Containing only the faintest traces of the spark that turned this once unpromising idea into a nearly four billion-dollar enterprise...Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is a mercenary, visually unappealing exercise in brand maintenance.
The Hollywood Reporter: Depp remains wholeheartedly the focus of this fifth Pirates film, and saying the character's loopy novelty has faded is like complaining that there are maggots in the below-decks gruel: You knew what you were getting when you came aboard.
