MTV Movies Blog confirmed on Monday that Penélope Cruz will be heating things up with the hermosa Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Cruz will be replacing Keira Knightley as the leading lady in the swashbuckling franchise. Fans of the Spanish sensation can look forward to seeing her play the daughter of villain Blackbeard (played by Deadwood's Ian McShane).

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told MTV that there will be a little romance between Penélope and Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow:

"There's a lot of humor, [Penelope] brings a lot of humor to it. And the fact that she's so feisty."

Disney plans to release Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in May 2011.
