Last night,
Variety revealed that Disney has found its leads for the upcoming live-action
Peter Pan movie in Alexander Molony (
The Reluctant Landlord) and newcomer Ever Anderson, and the report included some intriguing new info about Marvel's
Black Widow.
Anderson, who is the daughter of
Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich and director Paul Anderson, will also play a younger version of Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) in the Lethal Avenger's solo outing, which obviously confirms that the film will feature flashbacks to Tasha's past. It remains to be seen how much time will be dedicated to Romanoff's childhood, but chances are it'll just be a scene or two.
Anderson is just getting started in the movie business, and her only previous credit was playing a younger version of her real-life mother's character in
Resident Evil: Final Chapter.
Peter Pan and Wendy will be directed by David Lowery
(Pete's Dragon), who co-wrote the script with Toby Halbrooks. A rumor recently did the rounds that Disney was eyeing
Birds of Prey star Margot Robbie for the role of Tinkerbell, but we haven't heard anything since.
