Even Johnny Depp can't say no to Penélope Cruz, and as this first trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides shows, that could get him in a bit of trouble.

Captain Jack Sparrow is back in all his swashbuckling glory, and as always he's a man on a mission. But this time he'll be facing some truly dangerous obstacles...

Like what, you ask? Well, these little Disney mermaids are deadly, for one. That's right. Jack's on a quest with Cruz to find the Fountain of Youth, and in addition to those perfidious sea maidens (they'll waste no time luring your pirate friends to a watery grave), he'll have to take on zombies (they're all the rage now) and the pirate all pirates fear, Blackbeard (Ian McShane).

As this is the fourth movie in the franchise, we were nervous that the schtick might be getting old. But once again, Depp nails the Captain's bravado and swagger, and we can't wait to see more.

Check out the trailer and tell us what you think. On Stranger Tides hits theaters May 20.
