Does Will Turner meet his son?

But that excitement exploded exponentially when we learned that not only would Orlando Bloom be reprising his role as Will Turner for the first time in more than a decade, but now, we also get to meet Will and Elizabeth Swann's son.

It's been six long years since we've been out on the water with Pirates of the Caribbean, so, of course, we were beyond excited when we learned that Dead Men Tell No Tales (the fifth installment of the movie franchise) would drag us to the depths of the sea once more this May. But that excitement exploded exponentially when we learned that not only would Orlando Bloom be reprising his role as Will Turner for the first time in more than a decade, but now, we also get to meet Will and Elizabeth Swann's son. And according to the latest trailer to hit the web, father and son will be coming face to face again after that one fateful moment at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean 3. In the first trailer for the film, which premiered during this year's Super Bowl, we caught the tiniest glimpse of Will, AKA the new captain of the ghost pirate ship The Flying Dutchman. At the end of the third Pirates movie, At World's End, Will's heart is carved out as he's forced to succeed Davy Jones as the ferryman responsible for transporting dead souls at sea to the afterlife. The catch? He can come ashore only once every 10 years and, thus, must leave Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) and their son behind. According to our latest glimpse of Will, who's now sort of dead and sporting some face barnacles, he's still as suave as ever. In the new teaser, Will can be seen stretching out his hand to someone who looks an awful lot like Brenton Thwaites, the actor who will take on the role of Henry Turner, the now-grown-up child of Will and Elizabeth, in one seriously heart-wrenching moment. We swear we're not crying—just got some salt water in our eyes. Also back for more timber-shivering fun are Geoffrey Rush's Barbossa and Javier Bardem's, brand- new (very creepy) Captain Salazar. See all the action in the new trailer below while we wait for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales to hit the theaters on May 26.

What organs can you live without?

You'll be surprised as to how much you could lose and still live. You can still have a fairly normal life without one of your lungs, a kidney, your spleen, appendix, gall bladder, adenoids, tonsils, plus some of your lymph nodes, the fibula bones from each leg and six of your ribs.

Asked by: Alicia Jones, Maidstone

You can still have a fairly normal life without one of your lungs, a kidney, your spleen, appendix, gall bladder, adenoids, tonsils, plus some of your lymph nodes, the fibula bones from each leg and six of your ribs. Losing your uterus, ovaries and breasts, or your testicles and prostate, is also quite survivable, although you might need hormone therapy to avoid other long-term problems, such as brittle bones. If you allow yourself artificial replacements and medication, we can go further and remove your stomach, colon, pancreas, salivary glands, thyroid, bladder and your other kidney. Still not enough for you? Theoretically, surgeons could amputate all of your limbs, and remove your eyes, nose, ears, larynx, tongue, lower spine and rectum. Supported by machines in an intensive care unit, they could also take away your skull, heart and your remaining lung, at least for a short while. This adds up to a theoretically survivable loss of around 45 per cent of your total body mass. But any trauma that destroyed all these organs all at once would almost certainly kill you from shock and blood loss. And surgically removing them one at a time over many months would likely also be fatal, due to infections in your immune-compromised state.
