Jude Law tells us about Captain Hook's new backstory in PeterPanAndWendy! 'I wanted him to be sad, I wanted him to be scarred and gnarly and disgusting and scary, and funny, too.'
On April 28th, Disney’s Peter Pan & Wendy is setting sail to Neverland to reimagine the classic story for longtime fans and new viewers. While promoting the film, Jude Law and director David Lowery spoke with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff about the evolution of the story and Captain Hook's brand-new backstory.
PERRI NEMIROFF: David, I was reading that Disney first approached you about this film when you were winding down on Pete's Dragon. What would you say is the biggest difference between how you pictured the film turning out when you first committed to making it and what we see in the final product? JUDE LAW: I was very lucky in that an awful lot of it is ultimately explained in the brig scene with Wendy. We talked a lot about all of the backstory in detail in pre-production, and there were just tiny little details or confirmations between the two of us that, “Okay, this is how it happened.” But beat by beat, it's pretty much as described by Hook.
LOWERY: And there were so many little details that supported that such as, I don't know if you remember, but the set, your cabin, was full of all these drawings that Hook had made of ways to maybe capture Peter Pan.LAW: ... and balloons with nets in. I mean, just this guy of, “I've got to get this boy, I've got to get him.” There was also, I don't know if you see -- yeah, you see the collection of hands.LAW: Where he’s obviously tried to sew something back on.LOWERY: You should.
