Comment on Peter Pan: Jude Law in Talks to Play Captain Hook in Disney's Live-Action Film

Jude Law is reportedly in talks to join Disney's live-action film Peter Pan & Wendy as the classic villain Captain Hook. According to Variety, director David Lowery has tapped Law to board the Jolly Roger and set sail for Neverland in the studio's upcoming live-action Peter Pan adaptation, Peter Pan & Wendy. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/05/29/peter-pan-exclusive-clip-from-65th-anniversary-edition"] If Law signs the parchment for the role, he will follow in the buccaneering footsteps of Dustin Hoffman in 1991's Hook, Jason Issacs in 2003's Peter Pan, and Garrett Hedlund in 2015's Pan, to play the dastardly antagonist on the big screen since Disney has reportedly set its sights on a theatrical release for the Peter Pan film, rather than a Disney+ debut like 2019's Lady and the Tramp remake. As Captain Hook, Law would be creating terror on the high seas for Alexander Molony and Ever Anderson who have been tapped to star as Peter and Wendy in the live-action film. Molony is set to add a feather to his cap, both literally and figuratively, starring as the eternally youthful Lost Boys leader while Anderson is expected to embark on the fantastical adventure as the eldest Darling child.
