Amanda Seyfried (“Les Misérablesâ€) rounds out the cast as Mary, alongside Jack Charles (“Mystery Roadâ€) as The Chief/Tiger Lily’s father; Taejoo Na (“The Kickâ€) as Kwahu; Nonso Anozie (“Son of God,†“Atonementâ€) as Bishop; Kathy Burke (“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spyâ€) as Mother Barnabas; Kurt Egyiawan (“Skyfallâ€) as Murray; Lewis MacDougall (UK TV’s “In the Name of the Childrenâ€) 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.
