10Captain Edward “Blackbeard” Teach

Played By Ian McShane

plagiarist of the Caribbeanfailed the most noted sea rover in history by putting him in a lackluster story . However , it is potential to distinguish what the writers were going for with Blackbeard : They plainly want him to be the most evil character in the franchise yet . Some of the elements hem in him might be ridiculous — like his wizardly sword that can control the rigging of any ship — butIan McShane ’s reading of Blackbeard is Isidor Feinstein Stone - cold .

Blackbeard is essay immortality for the sake of it , terrorizes his work party to keep them in line , and values his daughter only because she is utilitarian to him — he is perfectly willing to sacrifice her to preserve his own life story . Whatever other weaknessesOn Stranger Tidessuffers from , McShane convincingly limn this theatrical role . Blackbeard might fare across as having minuscule interiority , but this is in all probability supposed to be the point of him . He just could have used more screen time to attain a great presence in the franchise rather than being the obligatory threat in the quaternary installment .

9Commodore James Norrington

Played By Jack Davenport

Commodore Norrington ( afterwards advance to police lieutenant ) is an opposer by default inCurse of the Black Pearl . He might just be doing his problem and offering a heartfelt proposition with the intent of being a caring married man , but to the hearing , he is an opposing personnel to the ( pretty ) baronial criminal protagonist and the star - queer romanticism . Norrington courteously ends his engagement with Elizabeth Swann ( Keira Knightley ) at the end of the first movie , something a stack of case of this archetype would do .

Norrington then has to study all the consequences of his activity when Elizabeth affirms that they are enemies .

What makes Norrington so interesting and more of a villain is what the account does with him afterhe has help this very clichéd role . He is a unlike Isle of Man inDead Man ’s bureau : disillusioned , uncaring , and want only to kill those who wronged him and reclaim his stance . Norrington then has to weigh all the issue of his activeness when Elizabeth affirms that they are enemies . There are many different shade to his character , undergoing an interesting evolution from being an opponent just by existing .

Pirates of the Caribbean on stranger tides movie poster

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is the fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. When Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) finds himself on the hunt for the fabled Fountain of Youth, he runs afoul of his old rival Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and the feared pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane). Accompanied by the mysterious Angelica (Penelope Cruz), Sparrow races his competition to the fountain in the hopes of claiming the Fountain for himself.

8Tia Dalma/Calypso

Played By Naomie Harris

Tia Dalma ’s arc is fairly maligned byAt World ’s oddment , but there are some interesting beats surrounding her fiber . InDead Man ’s Chest , she seem to be more of a plot of land machine than a scoundrel , directing the main characters towards the pectus of Davy Jones . All of this turns out to have been part of Tia Dalma ’s plan to trick the Brethren Court into liberate her , so she may find her true contour and powers as the goddess fairy-slipper . Throughout , she has an element of mystery and foresight about her that Naomie Harris plays well .

The scene of Calypso being freed might have been ham - fisted , but taken out of setting of the rest of the movie , she is an interesting character and villainess . She forsake Davy Jones , making him the freak that he is , for no other reason than inconsistency is in her nature . She has a complicated alliance with Barbossa and seems to have known all along that Will Turner ( Orlando Blood ) would become the new maitre d' of the Flying Dutchman . Calypso is savage , but she also gives the impression of only being barbarous as lot exact it .

7Pintel (& Ragetti)

Played By Lee Arenberg & Mackenzie Crook

Pintel and RagettiservePirates of the Caribbeanwell as the wacky duet who set out out as members of Barbossa ’s villainous undead crew before casually joining Jack ’s crew inDead Man ’s Chest . In this background , the fact that these characters have tried to kill Jack and co. before is piss under the bridge . Pintel and Ragetti have a safe dynamic with each other and with the rest of the cast , which allows them to dart throughout the story as comedy fodder , occasionally surprising everyone with a serious here and now .

As a brace , Pintel and Ragetti are neat form - of villains who occasionally souse back into seemingly wanting to kill the main quality — like when they endeavor to steal the pectus and fight Elizabeth ( also inDead Man ’s Chest ) . Yet they are an iconic duet inextricably linked withPirates of the Caribbean , showcasing the dealership ’s characteristic comedy and play . Because they are at the fringe of the fib , they can perhaps stir between being supporter and enemy better than anyone . When character likeWill and Elizabethturn on everyone and back again , it demand more of an explanation .

6Lord Cutler Beckett

Played By Tom Hollander

The franchise could have spent more time grow the plot and subject wall the presence of the British Empire in this place setting ; it is one of the reasons thatBlack Sailsmay be good thanPirates of the Caribbean . However , on his own , Beckett is a very unlikable role who never once question his mission to murder hundreds to yard of masses . He is everything that the main characters are not : formal , dressy , and only a figurehead , rather than really getting his hands dirty by struggle .

Beckett defend another fight inPirates of the Caribbeanthat should have been given more attention . The rough timeline of the first few movies is at the end of the Golden Age of Piracy , when figures like Jack are"a dying breed . “It is leave behind to Beckett to embody this ideological conflict when the story does n’t address it as much as it should , and he at least has a inviolable rivulet when due to being almost cartoonishly vicious .

Margot Robbie ’s Pirates of the Caribbean spinoff has the potential to be much better than a steady sequel , offering more exciting tale ideas .

Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Men Tell No Tales

The fifth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Dead Men Tell No Tales follows young Henry Turner as he enlists Captain Jack Sparrow to release his father, Will Turner, from the curse binding him to the Flying Dutchman. Their quest puts them in the path of ghostly pirate-hunter Captain Salazar, with whom Sparrow has a storied past.

5Angelica Teach

Played By Penélope Cruz

sacrifice Jack a veridical dear interest who subvert his philosophy of ego - conservation above all else might not have been the best choice , but Angelica is still an splendid character . Angelica understands Jack almost well than anyone , and therefore stands the honorable luck at taking him down . Angelica is the only fiber inPirates of the Caribbeanwho can match Jack in terms of skill , intellect , and pure dash . also , Penélope Cruz was the perfect pick to asterisk alongside Deppin the context of a new gamey - seas escapade .

Angelica is the only character in sea rover of the Caribbean who can match Jack in terminus of skill , understanding , and perfect style .

Angelica is fiercely dedicated to her Fatherhood , a loyalty which is misplaced . Along the direction to helping him find out the Fountain of Youth , she terrifies everyone in her vicinity . Angelica might be shout out sympathetic because everything she does is in the Robert William Service of help someone she loves who does not make out her in issue . However , as far as Jack and anyone who gets in her way is concerned , she is one of the most dangerous threats they will face .

Pirates of the Caribbean

4Mermaids

Played By Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Gemma Ward, & Others

On Stranger Tidestried its hand at make for to life another legendary sea monster , lace the myth of mermaids with the necessary ingredient to derive life from the Fountain of Youth . Syrena ( Bergès - Frisbey ) and Philip ( Sam Claflin ) might have been inadequate replacements for Will and Elizabeth , buttheOn Stranger Tidessequence where the plagiarist are attacked by the mermaid is well - executed . The scope , mermaid , and music are all totally supernal before they reveal their fangs to slaughter all the sea robber in a strong alive - action depiction of the violent tales of femme fatale .

All the mermaid except for Syrena disappear after this conniption because they are really hard to capture , proven by multiple give out attempts . Additionally , all the mermaids are remorseless about lure sailors to their destruction , personify another aspect of the mythology . Even Syrena , although she settle in making love with Philip , is resolute to not help the other pirates . Admittedly , why she make for the goblet back to Jack is one of the biggestplot hole out across the fivePirates of the Caribbeanmovies .

3Captain Davy Jones

Played By Bill Nighy

Davy Jones , as he is catch inPirates of the Caribbean , is the only baddie who could live up to and surpass the banner coif by Barbossa in the first film . The dramatic design of the role and his crew , constituting Oscar - come through special effect , is a swelled part of it . However , Davy Jones is also darker and more unsafe than the benchmark set up byCurse of the Black Pearl , and a wonderful period of play on the seafaring myth of Davy Jones ' locker ( suitably referenced by Will in the first movie ) .

In plus to being by and large malevolent and highly difficult to defeat , Davy Jones is tinged with base of solitariness and heartbreak that makeDead Man ’s Chestslightly more nuanced . He wants to inflict the worked up botheration he has suffered on others . Davy Jones ' radioactive dust with Calypso has far - reaching event , lead to other soul who have died at sea also becoming lost and alone . He is a complex villain because of the hurt he directly and indirectly make .

2The Kraken

No Applicable Actor

Accompanying Davy Jones is his big weapon : control over the legendary beast known as the Kraken . The Kraken is a near - perfect contribution toPirates of the Caribbean’sstory , lessened only by how it is unceremoniously vote out off when the writer had no purpose for it inAt World ’s End . Before that , the monster is wholly terrifying and patently inconceivable to pulsate . The main character are not triumphant when they go up against the Kraken in the final act ofDead Man ’s Chest , but are forced to flee , losing Jack and the Black Pearl in the summons .

Before that , the Kraken is the Crux Australis of some of the sound action sequence inPirates of the Caribbean , characterized by well - planned stage dancing and ineluctable dread . There is also something very classical and inevitable about the Kraken , as though the primary characters would always have had to fight something like it eventually . So long asPirates of the Caribbeangot more than one movie , some kind of ocean ophidian or other monster lurking in the depths would have come into play .

The musical score of Pirates of the Caribbean is manifest and composer Hans Zimmer has offered some insight into detail shroud within the themes .

1Captain Hector Barbossa

Played By Geoffrey Rush

Yet no villain inPirates of the Caribbeanis as classically magnificent and evil as Barbossa . InCurse of the Black Pearl , Barbossa is the pure villainous plagiarist police captain with a strong backstoryand a talent for secernate specter stories . Over fourth dimension , Barbossa and Jack develop to have a protagonist / adversary dynamic where they also have adept friend vibes — there is no other grounds the work party of the Black Pearl would have ironically named their undead scalawag Jack . For good or speculative , Barbossa and Jack have sleep with each other for a long clock time and understand how the other one operates .

Even when he is not the elementary scoundrel , Barbossa has a sure cackle determination and expertise that realize him the archetypePirates of the Caribbeanalways needs , although he is the unspoiled at being this character . Yet he is at his right inCurse of the Black Pearl , where he is a strong foil to Jack and bring in some of the best references to the original ride . sea robber of the Caribbeanhas many great villain , but Barbossa rest a strong contender to be the ripe of all of them .
