Peter Pan & Wendy's director David Lowery's perspective behind the film

David Lowery, who also co-wrote and directed Disney's Pete's Dragon and The Green Knight, is the director of Peter Pan & Wendy.

"In making Peter Pan & Wendy, we set out to craft a film that honours both the original J.M. Barrie text and Walt Disney's animated adaptation; we wanted to invigorate our retelling with emotional sincerity, an open heart and a grand yearning for adventure," Lowery said in a statement.

"Hundreds of incredible artists spent many years bringing this film to the screen," he added. "I'm excited for audiences to see their work, to go on this ride and to rediscover an evergreen tale from a new perspective."
