Pirates of the Caribbean fan art recreates Davy Jones in incredible detail. Based on the character of the same name from legend, Davy Jones was first mentioned in The Curse of the Black Pearl before debuting as Jack Sparrow’s archnemesis in Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End. Part squid and part crab, Davy Jones was portrayed through motion capture by Oscar nominee Bill Nighy and as the captain of the Flying Dutchman, he collects the souls of dead or dying sailors to serve aboard his ship for a sentence of 100 years.
Some recent Pirates of the Caribbean fan art created by combi_nzambi on Instagram lovingly recreated Davy Jones in great detail. Check out the fan art below:
With two panels, a black-and-white sketch and a color drawing, the fan art captures some of the most recognizable aspects of the character including his beard made of octopus tentacles, pirate hat, and weathered appearance accentuated by barnacles and seaweed.
Will Davy Jones Return In Pirates of the Caribbean 6?
Despite Davy Jones tumbling to his death in the maelstrom during At World’s End, Pirates of the Caribbean 5‘s post-credits scene teases his return with Will seeing his silhouette. Though Will assumes it is a nightmare, the barnacles and small puddle of seawater on the floor suggest that Davy Jones has been resurrected. While the post-credits scene was clearly setting up the return of Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean 6, it’s unclear if that will still happen due to the uncertainty of the franchise following Johnny Depp’s departure.
Disney is currently developing two Pirates of the Caribbean reboots – one written by franchise veteran Ted Elliott and The Last of Us show creator Craig Mazin, and the other a female-led spinoff with Margot Robbie attached to star and Christina Hodson writing the script. The former project is moving forward first, according to producer Jerry Bruckheimer, though it’s unclear if it will continue the story set up by the prior post-credits scene or reboot the continuity entirely. Whatever shape Pirates of the Caribbean 6 takes, it should include the return of the franchise’s most famous and formidable antagonist – Davy Jones.
