I wonder if they are going to give him a gun? Now that would be awesome, seeing Chow in a slow-mo spin, pulling out two 15th Century pistols and cappin some.. well, you know the rest.

According to Yahoo: News, Hong Kong action hero Chow Yun-fat is set to star in the upcoming sequels of box office smash "Pirates of the Caribbean". He will play the famous 15th century Chinese pirate Cheung Po Tsai for the second and third instalments of the film. Chow will team up with members of the original cast including heart-throb Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush and Keira Knightley. Rolling Stone legend Keith Richards will also play the father of Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow.

Chan said both the movie's producer and director contacted Chow's management company in the US two months ago and Director Gore Verbinski flew to Hong Kong last week to discuss the screenplay with Chow, the daily reported.

"The director was very sincere about it and specially flew to Hong Kong and discuss the script with Fat Gor (Chow's nickname) ... but we cannot talk about the details until we sign the contract," Chan was quoted as saying.

This is turning out to be an awesome movie. I loved the first one and can't wait for the sequel. Man, I love pirates. *Puts on eye patch and grabs a sword*.. Arrrrrrr!
