#1. Peter Pan & Wendy Live-Action Trailer.

Disney has released the first Peter Pan & Wendy teaser, with only two months until its release. The film, which can be seen above, provides a closer look at the upcoming Disney remake, specifically Yara Shahidi's live-action Tinker Bell and Alexander Molony's titular character. The Peter Pan and Wendy trailer also shows the first disturbing glimpse of Jude Law's Captain Hook towering over Wendy and her brothers.

#2. The First Black Woman Plays Tinkerbell.

In early 2023, Disney continued to promote live-action projects from its famous animated works. On February 28, the mouse house released the live-action Peter Pan and Wendy trailer. Instead of paying attention to Peter Pan or Wendy, the public focused their attention on the character Tinkerbell played by black actor Yara Shahidi. The fact that Tinkerbell does not have the same skin color as the original has aroused a wave of controversy. Many viewers are confused when Disney constantly "changes the skin color" of the characters that are imprinted in the audience's subconscious since childhood.

Comments opposing and criticizing Disney for not respecting the original or too abusive of ethnic issues to include in the film to diversify, but the company has gone too far. "Give back your childhood Tinkerbell image." On the other hand, Disney abuses blackening the character and inhibit "... the audience criticized Disney. Before that, the live-action version of The Little Mermaid was also criticized when Disney recruited black actor Halle Bailey to play Ariel.

#3. Peter Pan Played By Alexander Molony.

The new twist in Peter Pan and Wendy is that some Lost Boys (lost boys) are replaced with Lost Girls (lost girls). The characters in the film also become more ethnically diverse. The movie's content tells the adventures of Peter Pan - the boy who can't grow up. Peter takes little Wendy to the mythical Neverland - where she can live freely without fear of growing up. Day in and day out, they happily play pranks and confront the evil pirate Hook.

In the film, Alexander Molony takes on the lead role of Peter Pan and Ever Anderson plays Wendy. The latest version of Peter Pan also has a darker skin color than the old cartoon version.

#4. Jude Law's Captain Hook.

Peter Pan & Wendy's is one of the key live-action projects that Disney brings to the audience in 2023. Contrary to Tinker Bell Yara Shahidi, Jude Law as Captain Hook received much praise for the visual's charisma.

#5. Everything The Peter Pan & Wendy Trailer Revealed.

While little is known about the film, anticipation for Peter Pan & Wendy has been low due to Lowery's work on the live-action Pete's Dragon, which was a critical and financial success. Lowery appears to be taking the same approach and style as his previous Disney remake, looking for a way to ground a fantastical source material while maintaining the adventurous spirit of the original. This tone is felt in the trailer with Peter's first meeting with Wendy, which retains his witty entry from the animated film.

While Molony's character was shown in previous marketing, the Peter Pan & Wendy trailer does mark the first proper looks at Shahidi's Tinker Bell and Law's Hook, both of which mark promising signs for the film. Unlike many other live-action Disney remakes that have come under fire for major character design changes, both Tink and Hook look nearly identical to their animated counterparts. Law's Peter Pan & Wendy villain does look to have been given a far more terrifying tweak to his facial features, making him look more akin to a Pirates of the Caribbean antagonist.

Another significant change the Peter Pan and Wendy trailer suggests is a more sensitive approach to adapting Tiger Lily. Many earlier Peter Pan adaptations have been chastised for perpetuating Native American stereotypes through the character. Only time will tell when Peter Pan and Wendy are released on Disney+ on April 28.
