Peter Pan and Wendy is the upcoming live-action adaptation of the classic novel “Peter Pan” by JM Barrie. Disney has released a new trailer for the film! This new take on the timeless story features Alexander Molony as Peter and Ever Anderson as Wendy, with Yara Shahidi playing the role of Tinker Bell. Peter Pan and Wendy promises to be a visually stunning and exciting new addition to the long line of Peter Pan adaptations.
This is not our first time seeing a Peter Pan adaptation on the big screen. The 1953 animated Disney version, Robin Williams’ “Hook” from 1991, and Johnny Depp’s “Finding Neverland” from 2004 are just a few examples. But this time, Disney has teamed up with director David Lowery and screenwriter Toby Halbrooks to bring a fresh perspective to the classic tale. Lowery, who previously directed “Pete’s Dragon,” is known for his visually stunning work and promises to capture the wonder and magic of Neverland in this new adaptation.
