After Bend It Like Beckham's UK release raised her profile, she was cast in the big budget action film, (along with Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp) in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and opened in July 2003.
Pirates of the Caribbean: the curse of the Black Pearl becoming one of the biggest hits of summer 2003 and cementing Knightley as the new "It" girl. Knightley had a role in the British romantic comedy Love Actually, which opened in November 2003. Though charismatic, Miss Knightley’s performance was overlooked in the crowded A-List cast. Her next film, King Arthur, opened in July 2004 to negative reviews, scoring only 31% at Rotten Tomatoes.
