Davy Jones Community

Davy Jones is one of the primary antagonists in the Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy. Davy Jones was introduced as the primary antagonist in the second film of the series Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man\\\'s Chest, and was also featured as one of the antagonists in the third film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World\\\'s End. Jones is the captain of the feared ghost ship featured in nautical lore, the Flying Dutchman, and roams the seas searching for souls to serve upon his vessel for a century, after which most crewmen have already fused themselves to the ship, becoming part of it.

Although often being portrayed as a merciless and brutal antagonist, it is possible to empathise with Jones over his plight and subsequent spiral into depravity. As the full story of his life is revealed, he is clearly a tortured individual wracked by powerful emotions that he was unable to control and allowed himself to be twisted by love, hate, fear and rage. The only outlet for this miasma of conflicting emotions was violence after he cut out his heart to rid himself of the emotion of love.

Davy Jones is portrayed by British actor Bill Nighy in both films.
