'I love the diversity': Fans in frenzy as Disney drops the first-look photos of 'Peter Pan & Wendy'

'Peter Pan & Wendy's poster looks cinematically pleasing and promising as a story for contemporary times

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Let's be real, we all have been obsessed with Disney's classic tales at one point in our childhood, be it 'Cinderella,' or 'Mickey Mouse'. However, as we are in a more advanced time, Disney creators are coming out with live adaptations of these classic movies, first was 'Cinderella,' then came, 'Beauty and the Beast' featuring 'Harry Potter' franchise actress, Emma Watson as Belle, and now we have not one but two live-action movies upcoming, first being the 'Little Mermaid,' and the second is 'Peter Pan & Wendy'. The upcoming Disney movie is a live-action adaptation of Walt Disney's 1953 animated film 'Peter Pan,' in turn based on the 1904 play 'Peter Pan'; or, 'the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up' (also known as 'Peter and Wendy') by J. M. Barrie.

Nevertheless, the film stars Alexander Molony (in his film debut) and Ever Anderson in the title roles. Jude Law, Yara Shahidi, Alyssa Wapanatahk, Joshua Pickering, Jacobi Jupe, Molly Parker, Alan Tudyk, and Jim Gaffigan also appear in supporting roles. The timeless story by J.M. Barrie features the lost boy Peter from a magical island who could fly and never age. When he meets a young woman and her two brothers, they journey to Neverland and face off against the dreaded Captain Hook.
