The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was back six years after the last movie about the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow was released.

Along with the returning cast (Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and Geoffrey Rush), there are some new characters joining the crew like Javier Bardem as the undead Armando Salazar, Brenton Thwaites as the son of Will and Elizabeth, or Kaya Scodelario as the astronomer Carina Smyth.
On this occasion our favourite pirates did not take a single shot in the Caribbean. Dead Men Tell No Tales was filmed entirely in Australia, mainly in the area where the movie was based in the Gold Coast:

A massive village set was built near the town of Maudsland. Also a second set with a giant green screen, supported by lots of shipping containers, served to shoot water scenes of the Silent Mary in Helensvale.

Due to the bad weather conditions on the Split, the crew moved the Dying Gull ship to Raby Bay to shoot open-water scenes. Image courtesy of Walt Disney Pictures

The team also used the scenic area of Mount Tamborine for some shots in the jungle.
