Bergès-Frisbey will join a cast that already includes the returning Johnny Depp and Geoffery Rush as well as Pirates newcomers Ian McShane (who will play the villain pirate Blackbeard) and Penelope Cruz (who will play Jack Sparrow’s love interest and Blackbeard’s daughter).

The film is scheduled to be released on May 20, 2011.
