Principal photography on the live-action adventure/fantasy Peter Pan & Wendy is currently taking place in Vancouver, Canada, and we now have a first look at Jude Law's villainous Captain Hook.
His costume quite clearly pays homage to the version of the character we saw in Disney's original animated feature, though the actor hasn't dyed his hair black (which really isn't the end of the world).
Law has made a huge impact in the blockbuster realm in recent years, playing Albus Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts franchise and another villain, Yon-Rogg, in Captain Marvel.
Based on J. M. Barrie's novel Peter and Wendy, and inspired by the 1953 animated classic, Peter Pan & Wendy is the timeless tale of a young girl who, defying her parents’ wishes to attend boarding school, travels with her two younger brothers to the magical Neverland. There, she meets a boy who refuses to grow up, a tiny fairy and an evil pirate captain, and they soon find themselves on a thrilling and dangerous adventure far, far away from their family and the comforts of home.
The rest of the movie's impressive cast includes Yara Shahidi (Grown-ish) as Tinkerbell; Ever Anderson (Black Widow) as Wendy; Alexander Molony (The Reluctant Landlord) as Peter Pan; Molly Parker (House of Cards) as Mrs. Darling; Alan Tudyk (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as Mr. Darling; newcomers Joshua Pickering as John; Jacobi Jupe as Michael and Alyssa Wapanatâhk as Tiger Lily; and Jim Gaffigan (The Jim Gaffigan Show) as Smee.
We don't have a confirmed release date just yet, but Peter Pan & Wendy is expected to hit Disney+ sometime in 2022. Take a closer look at Captain Hook by heading over to Mail Online.
