Garrett Hedlund ("Inside Llewyn Davis") as Hook; Oscar(R) nominee Rooney Mara ("The Girl
With the Dragon Tattoo") as Tiger Lily; Adeel Akhtar ("The Dictator") as Smee; and
newcomer Levi Miller as Peter.



Amanda Seyfried ("Les Misérables") rounds out the cast as Mary, alongside Jack
Charles ("Mystery Road") as The Chief/Tiger Lily's father; Taejoo Na ("The Kick") as
Kwahu; Nonso Anozie ("Son of God," "Atonement") as Bishop; Kathy Burke ("Tinker Tailor
Soldier Spy") as Mother Barnabas; Kurt Egyiawan ("Skyfall") as Murray; Lewis MacDougall
(UK TV's "In the Name of the Children") as Nibs; and newcomer Leni Zieglmeier as Wendy
Darling.



Wright is directing the as-yet-untitled Peter Pan adventure from a screenplay by Jason
Fuchs. Greg Berlanti, Paul Webster and Sarah Schechter are producing, with Tim Lewis
serving as executive producer.



Filming will take place at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. The film is set for a
worldwide release on July 17, 2015.
