Casting is officially underway for Peter Pan and Wendy, Disney's upcoming live-action remake of its classic 1953 animated film Peter Pan.
Alexander Molony, in his first major credited role, will portray the eponymous leader of Neverland's Lost Boys after starring in the Disney Junior series Claude. Ever Anderson will portray Wendy, a young girl who accompanies Peter to his faraway fantasy world. Anderson, the daughter of Milla Jovovich, previously portrayed a younger version of her mother's character Alice in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and will portray a younger Natasha Romanoff in this summer's Black Widow.
Peter Pan is the latest live-action remake of a classic Disney animated film, following this month's remake of Mulan. The project was initially linked to Disney+ before subsequent reports listed it for a potential theatrical release.
Based on the J.M. Barrie novel, Peter Pan follows a boy who travels to Neverland where he never grows up. Leading a motley crew of wayward children known as the Lost Boys, Peter faces the villainous Captain Hook for control of the fantasy land.
Peter Pan and Wendy is directed by David Lowery, the director of previous Disney remake Pete's Dragon, and co-written by Lowery and Toby Halbrooks. The film has yet to receive an official release date.
