Disney+ released the trailer of its upcoming live-action film Peter Pan & Wendy, an adaptation of JM Barrie novel. The film is set to stream from April 28.
The film introduces its primary characters, young girl Wendy Darling who is afraid to leave her childhood home, and Peter Pan, the boy who refuses to grow up. As Wendy travels to the world of Neverland, she is accompanied by fairy Tinker Bell, Peter and her brothers. Wendy crosses paths with evil pirate Captain Hook which sets her for a thrilling adventure.
The film stars Jude Law, Alexander Molony, Ever Anderson, Yara Shahidi, Alyssa Wapanatâhk, Joshua Pickering, Jacobi Jupe, Molly Parker, Alan Tudyk, and Jim Gaffigan. Directed by David Lowery, the screenplay is penned by David and Toby Halbrooks.
“In making Peter Pan & Wendy, we set out to craft a film that honors both the original J.M. Barrie text and Walt Disney’s animated adaptation; we wanted to invigorate our retelling with emotional sincerity, an open heart, and a grand yearning for adventure. Hundreds of incredible artists spent many years bringing this film to the screen; I’m excited for audiences to see their work, to go on this ride, and to rediscover an evergreen tale from a new perspective,” said David in a statement.
Jim Whitaker is backing the film with Adam Borba, Thomas M. Hammel, and Halbrooks serving as executive producers.
This year, return to Neverland.
