One of the most beloved movie franchises of recent years, Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean films have continuously entertained fans since the early '00s. Beginning with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the perfect mix of action, adventure, comedy, and romance spawned several popular sequels.
The biggest attraction of the films is their colorful characters. From the dynamic Captain Jack Sparrow to the courageous Will Turner, and the terrifying Davy Jones to the resourceful Elizabeth Swann, there's a memorable hero or villain for every fan to identify with. Find out which Pirates of the Caribbean character you are based on your zodiac sign.
ARIES - JACK SPARROW
The face of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and one of the most memorable characters in cinematic history, Captain Jack Sparrow is also the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean and without a doubt, the best pirate anyone has ever heard of.
As an Aries, Jack is adventurous, overly-confident, and quick-witted. His dynamic enthusiasm and pioneering nature draw others to him, though sometime the dark side of his sign makes him selfish, impulsive, and recklessly foolhardy.
TAURUS - ELIZABETH SWANN
Governor Weatherby Swann's daughter and sweetheart-turned-wife of Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann went from being a damsel in distress to leading the Pirate Brethren as their Pirate King.
Like a true Taurus, Elizabeth is both loving and determined, expressing a profound loyalty to those she cares about. Cross her (like Jack Sparrow) or those under her charge, however, and see her jealous and resentful side emerge.
GEMINI - WILL TURNER
Manging pretty well for a man who began his life as a shipwrecked orphan, Will Turner went from being a humble blacksmith in Port Royal to becoming the captain of the Flying Dutchman and marrying his sweetheart, Elizabeth Swann.
As with most Gemini, Will is bold and adaptive, as evidenced by his ability to pick up skills pertaining to both swordsmanship and seamanship. While youthful and lively the majority of the time, he could be inconsistently superficial with Elizabeth, and apprehensive in his dealings with pirates.
CANCER - BOOTSTRAP BILL
Bootstrap Bill Turner was a pirate aboard the Black Pearl and later the Flying Dutchman, exchanging one cursed existence for another under two famous captains. His son William followed his seafaring footsteps, and eventually became the third captain he sailed with.
Like many Cancers, Bill Turner could be cautious with his love, as he was when reunited with his son. But once they found each other again, he became protective and sympathetic. His protectiveness over Will occasionally made him overly emotional, at the expense of his better judgment.
LEO - BLACKBEARD
Blackbeard was one of the most famous pirates to ever sail the High Seas on his ship The Queen Anne's Revenge. Known for his psychological warfare, he often boarded ships with flaming matches in his beard and multiple pistol braces across his chest.
Charming, generous, and creative like many Leos, Blackbeard was only patronizing when he sensed disrespect and insolence. His faith was what he chose to believe, and while he was intolerant of the religious variety (to the chagrin of his daughter), he believed in sea prophecies.
VIRGO - WEATHERBY SWANN
As governor of Port Royal, Governor Weatherby Swann held considerable influence in the Caribbean (or so he thought), with his daughter Elizabeth. He could never have predicted her headstrong nature would lead her on an adventure with pirates.
Like most Virgos, Governor Swann was meticulous and practical, often letting his commitment to tradition override his critical thinking skills. He was conservative and analytical, and never fully approved of Elizabeth's choices.
LIBRA - HECTOR BARBOSSA
Once Captain Jack Sparrow's first mate, Hector Barbossa led a mutiny against him to secure the Black Pearl for himself. The ship would between the two pirates' hands many times, as they shared a begrudging friendship.
A true Libra, Barbossa was a gentleman pirate, and capable of being charming and urbane when he wished to be. Occasionally self-indulgent and easily influenced, he rarely made the mistake of trusting those who double-crossed him twice.
SCORPIO - DAVY JONES
Once a human sailor in love with the sea goddess Calypso, Davy Jones was charged with ferrying souls lost at sea to the netherworld aboard the Flying Dutchman. When Calypso betrayed his love, he neglected his duties and carved out his own heart.
Beneath the forceful and powerful presence of this Scorpio, there was a ionate and emotionally intuitive man. Calypso's betrayal caused him to secretly obsess about their ruined future to the point that he lost all semblance of humanity to his resentment.
SAGITTARIUS - LORD CUTLER BECKETT
An emissary of King George I's, Lord Cutler Beckett used the might of the East India Trading Company to enact the will of the Crown as well as his personal business interests. He sought to exterminate every pirate in existence and have a monopoly on all trade in the Caribbean.
Though he could be manipulative and meticulous, like many Sagittarius, Cutler Beckett was quite optimistic and good-humored even in his dealings with pirates he hated. For all his robust wheeling and dealing, his blind superficiality and careless overconfidence cost him the War Against Piracy.
CAPRICORN - JAMES NORRINGTON
Once a Commodore in the Royal Navy, James Norrington lost his commission and his reputation in pursuit of Captain Jack Sparrow. He was only able to regain them by choosing to serve in the East India Trading Company, which questioned his sense of honor and integrity.
Like most Capricorns, James Norrington was practical, ambitious, and disciplined. Though he was emotionally reserved, he had a dry sense of humor. When he was at his lowest point serving alongside Sparrow, he was incredibly pessimistic and resentful.
