‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ is directed by David Lowry with a script written by Lowery and Toby Halbrooks. Both Lowery and Halbrooks also worked together on the ‘Pete’s Dragon’ remake in 2016. The film is produced by Jim Whitaker.
Origin Story
The story of Peter Pan follows Wendy and her two brothers, John and Michael, who are amazed when a magical boy named Peter Pan flies into their bedroom.
Peter, in search of his missing shadow convinces Wendy and her brothers to follow him to Neverland. The children face adventure and dangers in the land where no one has to grow up.

Peter Pan is played by British Actor, Alexander Molony. This will be Molony’s film debut.
Wendy Darling is played by Ever Anderson (young Natasha Romanoff in Black Widow).
Jude Law plays Peter’s enemy, Captain Hook.
Both Law and Anderson were at the D23 Expo on Friday for the reveal.
“It’s been really amazing to be able to play Wendy,” Anderson said. “Wendy and Peter are equals in this film.”
Additionally, Jude Law had this to say on playing the role of Captain Hook:
“We got to mine their backstory a little more and try to know their past, when they were friends,” Law added. “It was nice to layer in that understanding of why Hook is so iconic.”
