The upcoming version of Peter Pan will be directed by the acclaimed filmmaker David Lowery, whose filmography includes A Ghost Story and Pete’s Dragon. Relative newcomers Alexander Molony and Ever Anderson will play titular roles, with Jude Law portraying the villainous Captain Hook.

Shahidi celebrated her casting by sharing a photo in a green faux leather top and captioned it by tagging the word #Tinkerbell. She also shared the fan art of the beloved fairy with her face and wrote “Thank you for all of the love. It, truly, means so much to me. I’m excited for this next adventure!”

Shahidi got her big break with the role of Zoey Johnson in the hit sitcom Black-ish, and later took the lead role in its spin-off Grown-ish. She also starred in the coming-of-age movie The Sun Is Also a Star and voiced the main character in the Netflix animated movie Fearless.

Law is currently in talks to play Captain Hook in the live-action film directed by David Lowery (Pete’s Dragon) from the screenplay that Lowery co-wrote with Toby Halbrooks. The film’s based on the J.M. Barrie novel about Peter Pan, the boy who didn’t age, and the children he takes to Neverland.

To date, the 1953 animated film from Disney is the most successful adaptation of the novel, but other films, including Steven Spielberg’s Hook starring Robin Williams and Joe Wright’s Pan, have also adapted the book.

Law will join former Hools Dustin Hoffman, Jason Issacs, and Garret Hedlund if he signs onto the project.

So far, Ever Anderson as Wendy and Alexander Molony as Peter Pan have been announced as part of the cast. Disney had to halt production on the film in March due to the coronavirus.

Law has starred in many television and film roles and his most recent works are in HBO’s The New Pope and Paramount’s Rhythm Sections. He will be reprising his role as Dumbledore in the next Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film.

Disney’s live-action adaptations have been a huge hit this year with the release of Aladdin and The Lion King, which made over $1 billion at the global box office. There’s even a sequel in the works for Aladdin’s live-action film.

Now, Variety reports, the studio has found the two lead characters. Ever Anderson will portray Wendy, while the titular character will be portrayed by Alexander Molony.

Anderson appeared in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in 2017, where she played the younger version of Alice (played by her mother, Milla Jovovich). She will also appear as a younger Natasha Romanoff in Black Widow this May. Molony worked on the animated show Claude and The Reluctant Landlord.

The movie will be directed by David Lowery, who previously directed Pete’s Dragon for Disney in 2016. Pete’s Dragon was a remake of a 1977 Disney musical that included both live-action footage and animation. Shooting of Peter Pan and Wendy is due to begin next month.

It should be noted that Peter & Wendy was originally set to be a Disney+ exclusive, but now it seems it will get a theatrical release.
