Behind the scenes

Henry Maddox appeared only in one of the earlier versions of Jeff Nathanson's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales script.^[2] The script was later rewritten and the character was merged with "Young Will Turner" from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End who was retconned as Henry Turner. In the final version of the script, one officer aboard the Monarch was named "Maddox".

During his reuniting with Olivia Henry tells her "It’s okay. We'll be together now." Historically, the word okay was coined in 1839, nearly a century after the events of the story.
