Looks like the fourth installment of the popular 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series is set to get a character face-lift. A few of the familiar characters will be walking the plank as the make way for a new leading lady.
While Johnny Depp will be losing Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom as costars in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, he'll be gaining an onscreen love interest in Penelope Cruz. The Oscar-winning actress is said to be playing the role of bad-guy Blackbeard's daughter, who will also be the first romantic counterpart for Captain Jack Sparrow since the franchise set sail in 2003.
The extent of the romance has not been confirmed, however "Pirates" executive producer Bruckheimer would only say that there will be "a little romance" between Sparrow and Cruz's character -- Bruckheimer told MTV News that Cruz "brings a lot of humor" to the role, which he says is a "feisty" one.
Cruz had been in negotiations to join the cast since February. Ian McShane will play Blackbeard, who -- in addition to being Sparrow's nemesis -- is the "nastiest pirate ever," in Bruckheimer's opinion.
