Cruz will play a female pirate in “Pirates of Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” by US director Rob Marshall. She will co-star with Johnny Depp, but other “Pirates of the Caribbean” veterans Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley will no longer participate.
The shooting of “On Stranger Tides is due to begin in Hawaii in July. Its schedule forced Cruz to abandon a role in von Trier's Melancholia, which deals with a huge planet threatening to destroy the Earth, and which the Danish director wrote specifically for her, according to El Pais. Cruz tried to juggle the schedules for both films, but was forced to focus exclusively on the US movie, which will require from her a months-long preparation including fencing classes.
