<Ul> <Li> Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow : Rønning wanted to focus on relatable characters as in the first film `` where Jack is not the ( lead ... but ) comes in and crashes the party every now and then '' , and so make use of Depp 's `` comedic genius '' . The film examines Jack 's backstory , with the young Jack portrayed by Anthony De La Torre , whose face was replaced by a CGI replica of Depp as he looked in 21 Jump Street and What 's Eating Gilbert Grape . Rønning felt de-aging Depp was tricky against the canon of the franchise . </Li> <Li> Javier Bardem as Captain Armando Salazar : Bardem set out to imbue the character with `` a rage based on dented pride '' , owing to his spectacular fall from a high - ranking commander of a Spanish fleet to being betrayed and trapped in hell by Jack . It took three hours a day to apply the make - up which Bardem referred to as having `` cold chicken breasts '' glued to his face . </Li> <Li> Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa : Barbossa has become extremely wealthy since the previous film , with Rush referring to him as a `` corporate pirate '' , having amassed a fleet of ships under his command and encrusted his peg - leg with jewels . </Li> <Li> Brenton Thwaites as Henry Turner : The directors were keen to draft a new protagonist relationship with Henry and Carina , stating that `` in the middle of a big action scene , you need to be able to lean on the characters and find the heart of that story , and channel the characters ' vulnerability '' . Rønning noted that identity is a major theme in the film and to Henry and Carina 's story arc : `` they are on a similar quest and find common ground in looking for who they are '' . Lewis McGowan portrays a young Henry . </Li> <Li> Kaya Scodelario as Carina Smyth ( née Barbossa ) : A headstrong , altruistic astronomer . Scodelario explained the character 's motivation and role saying , `` she is an academic , she 's fighting for the right to study at university because women could n't at that time . '' For the directors , it was important to `` modernise it with Henry and Carina , Kaya , especially brought that with her . She 's a modern woman . '' Scodelario worked with scriptwriter Jeff Nathanson to ensure the character was unique to the series and not a copy of Elizabeth Swann . She said that female characters often `` fall into two camps ; they are either pretty and perfectly put together or completely insane . Carina has definitely got a little bit of both . '' </Li> <Li> Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs : Captain Jack 's loyal friend and first mate . </Li> <Li> Golshifteh Farahani as Shansa : A sea - witch and ally of Captain Barbossa . </Li> <Li> David Wenham as Lieutenant John Scarfield : The second antagonist of the film and a British Royal Navy officer , who commands the HMS Essex . </Li> <Li> Stephen Graham as Scrum : A member of Jack Sparrow 's crew and former member of Blackbeard 's crew . </Li> <Li> Martin Klebba as Marty : A member of Jack Sparrow 's crew . </Li> <Li> Giles New and Angus Barnett as Murtogg and Mullroy : Former Royal Marines turned pirates , who serve as Barbossa 's right - hand men on board the Queen Anne 's Revenge . </Li> <Li> Orlando Bloom as Captain William `` Will '' Turner Jr. : A blacksmith - turned - pirate who was transformed into the Captain of the Flying Dutchman at the end of At World 's End .
