After criticism about the controversial decision to cast girls as Lost Boys, Peter Pan & Wendy director David Lowery is defending the castings.
The director of Peter Pan & Wendy is speaking out to defend the casting choices for the Lost Boys. In Disney's live-action remake of the classic Peter Pan, Peter takes Wendy and her brothers to Neverland, where they encounter the unaging Lost Boys. This time though, the Lost Boys aren't all boys anymore, as their ranks have swelled to include girls too.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "Movies should be for everybody, and it doesn't change the movie at all. It's the same story everyone grew up with. To each their own, but it's their loss. They're going to miss out on a great movie-going experience." Why The Lost Boy Change Is A Good Thing Peter Pan & Wendy isn't the first movie or show to suffer from criticism for increasing diversity in its cast. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power both received criticism this past year for including more women in the cast of classic content.
