The first trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales has surfaced (see what I did there?), and it is… vague? But still trailer-y.
What we see here is Javier Bardem’s Captain Salazar asking after the whereabouts of Jack Sparrow (Captain, sorry):
Marvel at the new Will-Turner lookalike! And ask yourself the evergreen question: how has Jack Sparrow managed to get so many supernatural beings so deeply interested in his demise?
My question is–How can this brutal movie be aimed at kids?
Well, since every movie is the series is PG-13… they are NOT aimed at kids? I would expect parents to be cognizant of what their children are watching, and not just assume because its published by Disney that its “for kids”.
@2 Thirteen is still a kid in my book. The clip bothered me, and I’m old enough to be that thirteen year old’s grandmother. I also like action flicks and mild horror.
“new Will Turner lookalike”
uh…. that’s not a coincidence

Have you ever read a traditional kids book? They aren’t all sunshine and light. Grimms fairy tales for example mostly end with a horrific fate for either the protagonist or the villain depending on the moral aimed. However I understand your point.
To an American filmmaker, PG-13 just means there is a suggestion of drug use or sex. Violence is socially acceptable.
Scariest thing to me is that R in the USA doesn’t mean adults only, it means a guardian must accompany the child. Rambo IV was rated as acceptable to escort children to in the USA, whereas generally elsewhere in the world it was 18 minimum.
