On the eve of her departure, Wendy and her two brothers are visited by Peter Pan and the fairy Tinker Bell, who educate them to fly and whisk them away to the imaginary world of Neverland.

In the faraway land, Wendy and her brothers meet Peter Pan’s band of Lost Boys and battle pirates and their fearsome chief, Captain Hook. The escapade helps Wendy discover her voice and regain her confidence.

Directed and co-written by David Lowery, the movie stars Jude Law within the function of Captain Hook, Yara Shahidi as Tinker Bell, Ever Anderson, 15, as Wendy, and Alexander Molony, 16, as Peter Pan.

Shahidi is the primary Black actor to painting Tinker Bell and the remake options women, in addition to Noah Matthews Matofsky, an actor with Down’s Syndrome, as members of the Lost Boys.

“To be able to have a generation of kids where this is their Peter Pan and Wendy is so special because hopefully it gives everyone the permission to dream big and know that they belong in these worlds,” Shahidi, identified for the TV sequence Black-ish and Grown-ish, advised Reuters on the movie’s world premiere in London on Thursday.

“Being a Lost Boy is a state of mind, right? Neverland is a place owned by everybody and so everyone deserves to go,” added Law.
