♫ This is the tale of Captain Jack Sparrow,
A pirate so brave on the seven seas!
A mystical quest to the isle of Tortuga,
Raven locks sway on the ocean's breeze! ♫

— The Lonely Island ft. Michael Bolton, "Jack Sparrow"

Pirates of the Caribbean is a Disney film franchise based on a theme park ride of the same name, centering around the adventures of pirate Captain Jack Sparrow on his quest for immortality and rum. The series is famous for originally being thought a terrible idea, only to surprise everyone with its huge success, in no small part due to Johnny Depp and his wild-eyed acting.

Here we present the rogues gallery (so far) of this epic series of yarns, me hearties!

A year after Dead Men Tell No Tales was released, the Pirates franchise was announced to be rebooted in the future without the involvement of Johnny Depp or the inclusion of any past characters. As of September 2023, Disney had been making progress on the project under the helm of Craig Mazin before it was paused due to the WGA strike that began that May.
