While we're still waiting for concrete news on the future of Pirates of the Caribbean, the fifth installment of which was released in theaters eight years ago, we invite you to delve back into the original trilogy. In particular, on a mystery surrounding Jack Sparrow's parents that greatly intrigues fans of the Disney saga.
Jack Sparrow, a pirate with mysterious origins
In the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, the question of heredity and genealogy is addressed on multiple occasions, mainly through the figure of the father,mothers being entirely absent from the franchise. Will Turner meets his father, Shoemaker Bill, aboard the Flying Dutchman, Davy Jones's ship where he has been a prisoner for years; Elizabeth Swann is the daughter of Weatherby Swann, the governor of Port Royal, appointed by the King of England; Angelica Teach is (supposedly) the daughter of Blackbeard, but this outspoken liar may very well have fooled everyone about her parentage; as for Jack Sparrow, he is the son of Teague, the keeper of the Pirate Code, played by Johnny Depp's idol, Keith Richards. As for The mother of the Captain of the Black Pearl, she was reduced to a severed head!
What happened to Jack Sparrow's mother?
This is an intriguing question, to which we have a clue. On Reddit, user @Middle_View4734 has taken up this mystery to delve deeper into the matter. As a reminder, in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, when Jack asks his father how his mother is doing, Teague presents him with a shrunken head. Although there is no official explanation from Disney for her death or how Teague recovered When asked about Jack's mother's head, one internet user has a rather coherent answer.
According to user @darrenislivid, "Jack's mother belonged to one of the tribes on the cannibal island. This is also why Jack is worshipped as a god there and knows their language." Indeed, in Dead Man's Chest, the Captain of the Black Pearl runs aground on an island whose inhabitants try to roast and devour him... Jack's mother was therefore killed by rivals and then his head recovered by Teague, during his wanderings.
And you, what do you think?
