They’re joined by Molly Parker as Mrs. Darling, Alan Tudyk as Mr. Darling, newcomers Joshua Pickering as John, Jacobi Jupe as Michael and Alyssa Wapanatâhk as Tiger Lily, and Jim Gaffigan as Smee.

Director/co-writer David Lowery said: “In making ‘Peter Pan & Wendy,’ we set out to craft a film that honors both the original J.M. Barrie text and Walt Disney’s animated adaptation; we wanted to invigorate our retelling with emotional sincerity, an open heart, and a grand yearning for adventure.

“Hundreds of incredible artists spent many years bringing this film to the screen; I’m excited for audiences to see their work, to go on this ride, and to rediscover an evergreen tale from a new perspective.”

2019 saw Aladdin and The Lion King both enjoy box office takings in excess of $1 billion while Mulan was released in 2022. An adaption of The Little Mermaid is due in cinemas later in 2023.
