Walt Disney Pictures and director
Rob Marshall just took a gigantic step in wooing me back into theaters for another round of
Pirates of the Caribbean. It is no secret that a fourth film is in works with
Johnny Depp and
Geoffrey Rush returning to their particular roles loosely based on
Tim Powers novel
On Stranger Tides. But we now know who will be playing the role of Blackbeard. Read the full report after the break...
News broke today that actor
Ian McShane is in final negotiations with
Disney to play
Blackbeard in "
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides." McShane who made his presence known to U.S. audiences in
HBO's cable series
Deadwood as Al Swearengen will make a perfect Blackbeard. I've loved McShane for a number of years now and seeing him as Blackbeard fighting against Jack Sparrow and Barbossa really gets me intrigued to see how the fourth installment of '
Pirates' fares.
Penelope Cruz has also been
recently cast to star opposite
Johnny Depp as his
"foil and equal in many ways." 
Any further information of Cruz's character is been kept under wraps much like a full details on the storyline. We do know that the fourth film will in fact delve into the myth of the
Fountain of Youth as eluded to in "
At World's End." Because '
On Stranger Tides' is loosely based on
Tim Powers novel, we can also derive a little from the original titles' book jacket excerpt, which I covered back in
September.
Stay tuned for more news on "
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" as it breaks...
