Yara Shahidi’s Tinker Bell is MAGICAL in the new ‘Peter Pan and Wendy’ movie trailer

The trailer for the new Disney live-action movie “Peter Pan and Wendy” has officially been released. Yara Shahidi, who is known for her roles in “Grown-ish” and “Black-ish,” transforms into a stunning and magical Tinker Bell.

It’s the classic tale of a little boy who refuses to grow up and prefers to live a life of adventure in Neverland. With the Lost Boys being “not all boys” and Yara Shahidi debuting a Black Tinker Bell, this beloved children’s story is getting a modern makeover.

The film loosely follows both the original story and Disney’s animated version, according to the director David Lowery.

“In making ‘Peter Pan & Wendy,’ we set out to craft a film that honors both the original J.M. Barrie text and Walt Disney’s animated adaptation,” he said. “We wanted to invigorate our retelling with emotional sincerity, an open heart, and a grand yearning for adventure.” 

Peter Pan will be played by Alexander Molony and Wendy by Ever Anderson, who looks exactly like her celebrity mom Mila Jovovich. Jude Law will be reprising the role of Captain Hook. And, an indigenous actor, Alyssa Wapanatâhk, will star as Tiger Lily.

 “Hundreds of incredible artists spent many years bringing this film to the screen. I’m excited for audiences to see their work, to go on this ride, and to rediscover an evergreen tale from a new perspective,” Lowery said.

The movie premiers April 28 on Disney+.
