Javier Bardem is in talks to play the villain in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, the latest installment of the high seas fantasy.
Johnny Depp is, of course, back as Jack Sparrow as is Geoffrey Rush, playing Barbosa, in the big tentpole that is eyeing a five-month shoot next year in Australia.
Joachim Ronnin and Espen Sandbreg are directing.
Plot details are as murky as a pirate's morals but Bardem would play a ghost captain who blames Sparrow for the death of his brother and is searching for a supernatural object to aid him.
Also figuring into the mix will be a love interest for Sparrow, a woman who is accused of being a witch. That co-starring role has not yet been cast.
Sources caution that the talks are in an early stage.
Bardem, who already memorably played a villain in the James Bond movie Skyfall, is working with Sean Penn in the Africa-set medical drama The Last Face.
