Jude Law Interview: Captain Hook's New Backstory in Peter Pan & Wendy
42On April 28th, Disney’s Peter Pan & Wendy is setting sail to Neverland to reimagine the classic story for longtime fans and new viewers. While promoting the film, Jude Law (Captain Marvel) and director David Lowery (Pete’s Dragon) spoke with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff about the evolution of the story and Captain Hook's brand-new backstory.
Co-written by Lowery, Peter Pan & Wendy is a live-action adaptation that tells the timeless story of Peter Pan (Alexander Molony) and Wendy Darling (Ever Anderson), but with themes that speak to the world today and more “depth of character.” One especially significant distinction is how Captain Hook is approached. Though he’s still Pan’s adversary in the movie, Law shares with Perri the major change to his backstory and also small details fans should look out for. As Law teases, “What's extraordinary about this version is that by the end, he's been on a journey.”
Before Peter Pan & Wendy premieres on Disney+, hear all about what Lowery dubs “the centrifuge of the entire movie” in the video interview above or read about it in transcript form below. Lowery and Law also discuss what changed from the initial pitch to the finished film, and what it was like joining the Star Wars franchise with the upcoming series Skeleton Crew.
