Disney’s first full trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is finally giving fans a more satisfying Jack Sparrow fix. After two previous teasers that offered bare glimpses of the eccentric pirate, the new preview offers a clearer picture of his adventures ahead.
Not only does the trailer show Sparrow (played by longtime franchise star Johnny Depp) in all his current stumbling glory, it includes a younger version of him. We learn the story of how he angered his latest enemy, the undead pirate hunter Capitán Armando Salazar (Javier Bardem). The scary villain has a serious thirst for vengeance after Sparrow took everything from him, and he is determined to bring death to him.
As we see in the trailer, Sparrow isn’t exactly ready to face such a dangerous threat. He is behind bars and needs a ship, a crew, and even pants. Of course, there wouldn’t be much of a movie if he didn’t put up a fight, so he does manage to round up some allies, including Henry (Brenton Thwaites) and Carina (Kaya Scodelario).
The preview is full of the humor and high-seas action that has made the franchise so popular over the years. Dead Men Tell No Tales comes in the wake of four successful Pirates of the Caribbean movies, the first of which was released in 2003. Sadly, it looks like the upcoming flick will be the last — the trailer refers to it as “the final adventure.”
Dead Men Tell No Tales has a lot to live up to. The films have each grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, with the most recent — 2011’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides — bringing in more than $1.04 billion worldwide. We’ll see how the latest film fares when it opens in theaters on May 26.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
