Then he finds threats from his rivals and hence does some efforts to run the Chocolate factory and not letting it to be shut down.

 

1. Captain Jack Sparrow

Captain Jack Sparrow is the most awesome character of Johnny Depp which is still alive! He plays tricks on everybody who gets into his ways and does everything to achieve his goals. He has a totally different tone and gate in this particular movie sequel, sort of a drunken way of walking and weird hand gestures. He is the person who survives every time when things are worst even.
