ComingSoon.net is reporting Ian McShane will join the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides as the legendary Blackbeard. McShane is definitely a riveting choice for the role and the series. Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush will reprise their roles as they look for the Fountain of Youth (hinted at at the end of At World’s End). Joining the cast with McShane is Penelope Cruz. Orlando Bloom’s and Keira Knightly’s characters won’t be returning which offers the series something of a fresh-esque start.
