Directed byGore Verbinski, Knightley portrayed Elizabeth Swann in the 2003 film.
But all wasn’t peaches and roses.
It was a big jolt.

The actress went on to add:
“[Elizabeth Swann] was the object of everybodys lust.
Not that she doesnt have a lot of fight in her.
But it was interesting coming from being really tomboyish to getting projected as quite the opposite.

I felt very constrained.
I felt very stuck.
It very much felt like I was caged in a thing I didnt understand.”
Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) arrives at Port Royal in the Caribbean without a ship or crew. His timing is inopportune, however, because later that evening the town is besieged by a pirate ship. The pirates kidnap the governor’s daughter, Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), who’s in possession of a valuable coin that is linked to a curse that has transformed the pirates into the undead. A gallant blacksmith (Orlando Bloom) in love with Elizabeth allies with Sparrow in pursuit of the pirates.
Both actors, alongside Knightley, would go on to birth one of Disneys most lucrative franchises ever.
Knightley, in the same interview, reflects on the experience of making the films.
So theyre a very confused place in my head.
The hours are insane.
Another reason why a franchise-based return won’t work for Knightley going forward centers around her family.
I couldnt go job to job [abroad] now, Knightley explained.
I wouldnt be in any way fair to them, and I wouldnt want to.
