The Mixed Reception of Disney's 'Peter Pan & Wendy'
Director David Lowery defends his casting choices for Disney's live-action update of Peter Pan & Wendy, which features Lost Girls and Yara Shahidi as Disney's first Black Tinkerbell. Lowery hopes to recreate the experience of being scared but wanting to rewatch childhood favorites like Time Bandits and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Jude Law, who plays Captain Hook, credits the script for providing emotional ammunition for his character's revised origin story. Peter Pan & Wendy is currently streaming on Disney+.
