This film version focuses on the relationship between Peter and Wendy. There they meet up with the Lost Boys, and battle Captain Hook ( Jason Isaacs).

When he comes back to get it, Wendy sews it on, and Peter invites them back to Neverland. One night, Peter's shadow is caught in the window. Alas, both groups will have to wait longer for a true trailer to drop sometime between now and the as yet unknown release date.This story begins with Peter Pan, the boy who would not grow up, leaving Neverland on occasion so he can listen to the stories that Wendy tells her brothers, Michael and John. One would think if principal photography had actually wrapped on the film that there could potentially be a bit more in the can to release to whet the appetites of movie consumers (and Disney investors). However, at Disney's investor day, Disney CEO, Bob Chapek, reported that filming on all movies that had been suspended from March had resumed filming and finished principal photography, which would include Peter and Wendy.ĭisney included, with its announcement, a brief, 22 second teaser for the film that certainly leaves much to be desired. The film was delayed from its original Apfilming start date and was believed to be slated to restart Mawith a wrap planned for June 30, 2021. Development on the film began April 13, 2016. The film will be a live-action adaptation of the classic 1953 animated hit, Peter Pan. Lowery and Toby Halbrooks are writing with Jim Whitaker and Joe Roth producing. Interestingly enough, Peter and Wendy was originally planned for Disney+, but then got a theatrical release announcement, but now has been moved back to streaming exclusively.ĭavid Lowery directs the Disney+ original, with Tom Holland as Peter Pan, Yara Shahidi playing Tinkerbell and Jude Law as Captain Hook with Alexander Molony and Ever Anderson in the roles of Peter and Wendy. Peter Pan and Wendy definitely fits that mold, along with others in the Disney live action remake portfolio. Other titles, though, with lesser-known casts on standard compensation deals, are likely easier to reposition, or 'buy out'. Titles like Cruella, Black Widow, Eternals and Shang-Chi will likely also hold on to their theatrical releases. Those films rely on their stars to promote and stars like Johnson almost certainly have gross participation deals that make moving to a streamer prohibitive. The studio has seemed to hold course, though, on certain of its titles, especially those with massively expensive above-the-line talent, like Jungle Cruise, with Dwayne Johnson. As Disney has released more information over the last several weeks on its new strategy that prioritizes its streaming operations and drive to build subscribers, the studio has made it clear that it will bolster its personnel and content schedule to support those properties.
