Teaser poster for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides rears its boney mug

The latest entry in the swash-buckling fantasy adventure franchise, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES, now has a teaser poster, and it’s about what you’d come to expect from a POTC one sheet: a decorative skull, a couple of blades… and perhaps even some clues as to what we might see in the fourth film? (Don’t hold me to that, I’m just speculating.)

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES – starring Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, Geoffrey Rush, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, Sam Claflin, and Kevin McNally – opens May 20, 2011.

Synopsis: In this action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise, Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), and he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.
