Disney is still working on the casting of its next film in live action (or in "live action" for bilinguals).
After
The Lion King
,
Mulan
or
Aladdin
, the American giant is preparing the human version of
Peter Pan
.
Directed by David Lowery, already at the helm of
Peter and Elliott the dragon
and
A Ghost Story
, the feature film should be called
Peter Pan and Wendy
.
And according to
Variety
, the distribution is getting finer by the day.
According to the American magazine, Disney has chosen Yara Shahidi to play Tinker Bell.
The 20-year-old actress rose to prominence in the
Black-ish series
, where she played Zoey Johnson, and then landed the lead role in her spin-off,
Grown-ish
.
In 2016, she explained why her character was “activism through art.
Her commitment earned her the honor of being named one of
Time's
"30 Most Influential Teens"
four years ago.
In this new version of the Disney classic, Yara Shahidi will give the answer to Alexander Molony alias Peter Pan, and Ever Anderson who will play Wendy.
And if the rumor is still not confirmed, Jude Law is tipped to slip into the skin of Captain Hook.
For now, no release date has been communicated.
If the health situation permits, it is planned that the feature film will first be released in theaters before landing on Disney +.
