BIRDS OF PREY Star Margot Robbie Reportedly Eyed To Play Tinker Bell In Disney's PETER PAN Reboot

If a new rumour is to be believed, Birds of Prey star Margot Robbie may have landed her next big role because Disney is said to be eyeing the actress for Tinker Bell in the live-action Peter Pan and Wendy.

Disney's live-action reboots did extremely well in 2019 as both Aladdin and The Lion King ultimately grossed over $1 billion each at the worldwide box office. Now, the studio is reportedly looking to start work on their live-action adaptation of Peter Pan which is titled Peter Pan and Wendy

According to The Illuminerdi, Disney is hoping to add some big names to the project, and Birds of Prey and Bombshell star Margot Robbie is now being eyed for the role of Tinker Bell. 

It's not clear whether she's actually in any sort of talks with the studio, but this sounds like a perfect fit and definitely a role it's easy to imagine the Harley Quinn actress being well-suited to.

The site has also shared a character breakdown which sounds, well, exactly like you'd expect! "Peter’s partner-in-crime and voice of reason with the voice of a million tiny bells, Tink helps the Darlings avoid danger during their Neverland adventure. When Peter, the Darlings, and/or the Lost Boys are in trouble, she uses her magical powers to save the day."
 
A little while ago, we heard that Disney was looking to develop a live-action Tinker Bell origin story starring Reese Witherspoon, but it's hard to imagine both projects happening now. If anything, should Peter Pan and Wendy prove to be a success, we would probably see Robbie fly into a spinoff. 

Stay tuned for further updates as we have them!

Love Margot but I’m done with the live action reboots.

Aladdin was the last one for me.

@regularmovieguy - I will say, David Lowery is a great film-maker and Ghost Story was one of my favorite films of 2017, but I'd be surprised if they let him run wild with one of these films.

Wow, didn't even know he was behind this. Still need to see Ghost Story - heard it's fantastic.

@Origame - That's what I mean, these remakes might as well be made by an AI system

@tmp3 - its all about the bottom line. They have to pay royalties to the original creators of these movies. But live action remakes are a loop hole since no one saw them thinking of that back then. Its shady af.

@regularmovieguy - I don't see it as reboots. It's a cinematic universe, that's all it is. Disney cinematic universe.

@pucrepeap

Reboots, Disney Live Action Universe, Idc. Outside of The Jungle Book I haven't liked any of them. Heard Cinderella was good but I got no value out of watching most of them.

And when this hits to theaters Disney will be like:

@regularmovieguy - Cinderella is my favorite of the bunch*. The biggest bummer about it is the lack of talking animales, but otherwise I'd use it as the best way of remaking the animated ones without just doing it shot for shot.

*I've yet to see The Jungle Book

Stop trying to remake Peter Pan every 3 years... this one story can't be turned into a franchise, stop it Hollywood.

@BigMikeReviews - There was literally a new Peter Pan film that screened at Sundance this weekend, lmao

@tmp3 - Hey that wasn't half bad... it's not laced with terrible CGI in every frame

Margot Robbie has so many projects in development, god damn. I don't think she'll sign onto this though since she still has that David O Russel film and Barbie by Greta Gerwig, unless this is just a voice role?

@tmp3 - Still can't believe Gerwig and Baumbach are making a Barbie film.

@WakandanQueen - It's crazy, haha. Gonna be great though, Gerwig's 2/2 rn

@tmp3 - Gerwig is doing Barbie?! Guess I'm watching the live-action Barbie movie.

I'm calling Timothée Chalamet getting cast as Ken.

@8thDoctor - Haha, dude might be too young for Ken but he can act his ass off for sure. After Little Women I'll see anything Gerwig does next

@blackandyellow - By far the best Peter Pan movie to date. How good is Dustin Hoffman in that movie too.

2015 - Hugh Jackman stars at Captain Hook in 'Pan'. It's a flop.

Hollywood: "Let's not make any more Peter Pan movies."

2020 -

Hollywood: "You want to know what kind of movie would make a lot of money? Peter Pan."

Tom Holland for Peter Pan

@tmp3 - Feel like they are looking for someone closer to Holland's age actually... idk.

tmp3 - 1/30/2020, 11:22 AM
@WakandanQueen - I hope it's Holland now just so Uncharted's filming date gets delayed again, lol. By the time he steps onto that set he'll be 36 or something

4thMaster - 1/30/2020, 3:25 PM
@tmp3 - Holland is clearly playing the long game, by the time that film gets off the ground he will be the age of Drake in the games.
