Davey Jones

Davey Jones is a fictional character from the Pirates of the Caribbean film series and is loosely based on the old seaman's legend of Davy Jones’ Locker. Jones made his first appearance as the main antagonist in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest portrayed by actor Bill Nighy through Motion capture.[13] The computer-generated imagery used to complete Jones was highly praised, and named by Entertainment Weekly as the second most convincing computer generated film character in film history, only behind King Kong from the 2005 film adaptation of the same name, and before Gollum from The Lord of the Rings.[14] The work on Davy Jones by Industrial Light and Magic earned Dead Man's Chest the 2006 Academy Award for Visual Effects. Nighy returned to reprise his role of Davy Jones in the third film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.[15] as a minor antagonist.

In the Pirates trilogy, Davy Jones is the captain of the Flying Dutchman (a feared ghost ship of the same name featured in nautical lore ), and roams the seas in search of souls to serve upon his vessel for a century.[16] He was previously the lover of Calypso, a "heathen goddess" from which a bad relationship turned him antagonistic. Jones is the legend behind the fictitious Dead Man's Chest, a major aspect of the second film.
