Disney+: The new 'Peter Pan & Wendy' arrives this month

If there’s one thing you can count on when it comes to Disney+, it’s the streaming giant’s loyalty to keeping classics ever-lasting. So it’s no surprise the digital empire is coming through on a massive rollout for the iconic and classic Peter Pan story.

It’s deeper than the flying kiddo though as Wendy gets her proper spotlight in the upcoming must-see. Could it be Date Night? Maybe something more for the kids like your little brothers and sisters? Maybe everyone? Time will tell and with April 28 around the corner, the verdict will be made sooner than later.

A new trailer for Disney’s epic movie event, “Peter Pan & Wendy,” is available now. The studio’s live-action reimagining of the J. M. Barrie novel and the 1953 animated classic will begin streaming April 28, 2023, exclusively on Disney+. 

“Peter Pan & Wendy” introduces Wendy Darling, a young girl afraid to leave her childhood home behind, who meets Peter Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up. Alongside her brothers and a tiny fairy, Tinker Bell, she travels with Peter to the magical world of Never Land. There, she encounters an evil pirate captain, Captain Hook, and embarks on a thrilling and dangerous adventure that will change her life forever. The film stars Jude Law (“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore”), Alexander Molony (“The Reluctant Landlord”), Ever Anderson (“Resident Evil: The Final Chapter”), Yara Shahidi (“Grown-ish”), Alyssa Wapanatâhk, Joshua Pickering (“A Discovery of Witches”), Jacobi Jupe, Molly Parker (“House of Cards”), Alan Tudyk (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”), and Jim Gaffigan (“The Jim Gaffigan Show”). “Peter Pan and Wendy” is directed by David Lowery from a screenplay by David Lowery & Toby Halbrooks (“The Green Knight”) based on the novel by J. M. Barrie and the animated film “Peter Pan.” The producer is Jim Whitaker (“Pete’s Dragon”), with Adam Borba (“A Wrinkle in Time”), Thomas M. Hammel (“Thor: Ragnarok”), and Toby Halbrooks serving as executive producers.
