A new Peter Pan & Wendy clip is here and we’re more than ready to journey to Neverland with Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. The latest Disney live action of a classic film will hit theaters on April 28 but until then, feast your eyes on Jude Law as the villainous Captain Hook.
The new clip shows Law as Hook lose his temper when a cremate mentions his arch nemesis Peter Pan by name. After shooting through his own cabin door, the captain dramatically tells his crew to “never say his name” before unceremoniously walking on the broken door and the crewmate underneath. Law makes for a theatrical and eccentric Hook, humorously telling the loyal Mr. Smee (played here by Jim Gaffigan) to “make a note [his] cabin needs a new door.” Smee timidly replies that this is the third door the captain has destroyed this month to which Hook replies, “and it won’t be the last.”
We’re happy to see the film is going to keep at least some of the humor of the original, especially considering Hook and Smee’s dynamic is one of the reasons people enjoy the animated film. The two live action actors continue to showcase that dynamic by having a funny exchange about Hook’s infamous hook for a hand (evidently, the captain is not a fan of puns). Here’s hoping the next clip will show us a closer look at Hook’s other enemy, the ticking crocodile before the film’s release.
Disney’s Peter Pan & Wendy will hit theaters Friday, April 28.
