Peter Pan and Wendy Official Trailer
However, despite backlash from purist fans, the movie promises to be an exciting adventure directed by David Lowery, known for his work on “Pete’s Dragon” and “A Ghost Story.” In conclusion, the upcoming release of “Peter Pan and Wendy” offers more diversity and inclusion, which some fans appreciate, while others feel that the changes were unnecessary. Another Change that might divide the fans, Wendy is not a Damsel in distress anymore. She is now a strong and independent girl.
I hope the fans won’t hostile to the child actors just like how they treated Halle Bailey on Twitter because she plays Ariel. The Trailer disabled the comments and it currently have 300 thousand dislikes over 37 thousand likes. This is not the first live action adaptation of Peter Pan, If you want your mostly white cast and all male Lost Boys, the past movies are still there. They will never disappear and you can still watch them.
I had watched so Many Peter Pan Movies in my life so I will give this a chance and see what it’s all about.
