Kaya Scodelario Takes the E!Q in 42: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Star Shares Her Secrets

The British actress' latest movie, a small indie by the name of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, opened wide on Friday and, suffice it to say, she just enjoyed her biggest opening yet.

In the fifth film in the Disney franchise, Scodelario plays Carina, a scientifically minded heroine who plays an instrumental role in Capt. Jack Sparrow's latest adventure. Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush are all back for this adventure, the series' first since 2011's On Stranger Tides.

So, back on dry land, we wanted to know more about what makes Kaya tick—so we cranked up the timer for the E!Q in 42.

As the clock counted down, Scodelario—whom you also know from The Maze Runner, Southcliffe and Skins—shared a few secrets that are best heard straight from the actress in the video above.

While she's had her share of romance onscreen, she told E! News at the Pirates premiere last week that she enjoyed the fact that she wasn't playing a so-called love interest this time around, but rather a most resourceful character who, given the times, is grossly underestimated but helps save the day with her knowledge of astronomy.

(She did still have to wear a corset, alas, and an often waterlogged corset at that.)
