According to Variety, Hugh Jackman is currently negotiating to star in Joe Wright’s Peter Pan origin story as the main villain in the film, Blackbeard not the traditional Captain Hook. The part was initially offered to Javier Bardem but after he declined the studio went to Jackman.
From a script by Jason Fuchs, the story tells the tale
of “an orphan [who] is taken to the magical world of Neverland, where he
becomes the savior [sic] of the natives and leads a rebellion against the evil
pirates.”
The studio is now in search of a young new actor to
play Peter Pan and a mid-20’s actress to play Tiger Lily.
Pan is set to open on June 26th, 2015.
