Hugh Jackman is set to star in Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming live-action Peter Pan feature for director Joe Wright. Jackman will portray the villainous Blackbeard in an all-new tale about author J.M. Barrie’s beloved character Peter Pan, the boy who would never grow up. Garrett Hedlund will play Hook.
Wright will direct the as-yet-untitled Peter Pan adventure from a screenplay by Jason Fuchs, who previously wrote Ice Age: Continental Drift.
The film is set for a worldwide release beginning July 17, 2015.
