How To Watch The Pirates of the Caribbean Movies In Order (2024)

Pirates of the Caribbean brought the seafaring treasure-hunters back in fashion for 21st century audiences, thanks to the cheeky pirate Captain Jack Sparrow (played by Johnny Depp) and his magical ship, Black Pearl. Inspired by the Disney theme park ride of the same name, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have emerged as one of Disney’s highest-grossing film franchises. With five adventures starring Johnny Depp, Disney is also planning to reboot the franchise with more movies to be expected.

How to watch the Pirates of the Caribbean movies in chronological order

Unlike franchises like Star Wars and Harry Potter, you can watch the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise chronologically by streaming them in the same order as their release date. However, the 2011 short film Tales of the Code: Wedlocked is set between the fourth and fifth installments. The 10-minute short, Tales of the Code: Wedlocked, acts as a filler between the fourth and fifth movies, dealing with a love triangle involving Jack Sparrow. The short film plays out for comedic purposes and doesn’t add much to the overall story. So it's not essential viewing for anybody that wants to follow the entire saga.

• Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

• Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)

• Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)

• Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

• Pirates of the Caribbean: Tales of the Code: Wedlocked (2011)

• Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

All five Pirates movies find Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow embarking on fantastical adventures on sea (and occasionally on land). The franchise is filled with thrilling naval battles, hilarious chase sequences and fearsome villains like the near-immortal Davy Jones. Played by Bill Nighy, Davy Jones is a cursed tentacled pirate that anchors a ghost ship known as the Flying Dutchman. He is the arch-nemesis to both Jack Sparrow and his unlikely friends, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley).Other iconic Pirates of the Caribbean villains include Blackbeard (Ian McShane) in On Stranger Tides and the zombie captain Armando Salazar (Javier Bardem) in Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies were directed by Gore Verbinski (The Ring, Rango). Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was directed by Rob Marshall (Mary Poppins Returns, The Little Mermaid), while the fifth movie (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) was co-directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg (Bandidas).
