In the 2023 film Peter Pan & Wendy, what is the name of the island where the story unfolds?

The story behind the answer

The island where the story unfolds in the 2023 film Peter Pan & Wendy is called Neverland.

Directed by David Lowery, Peter Pan & Wendy is a live-action adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan and the Disney animated version. The Darling children travel from London to Neverland with Peter Pan, entering a world of flying, pirates, mermaids, Lost Boys, and Captain Hook.

Neverland is a fictional island whose geography changes according to the adaptation. Barrie’s works and later films present it as a place shaped by imagination, childhood, and adventure. The 2023 film uses the island as both a fantastical setting and the center of the characters’ memories and conflicts.

Neverland should not be confused with Kensington Gardens, where Peter appears in Barrie’s earlier stories, or with Skull Rock, a location within some versions of Neverland. It is also not the setting of Steven Spielberg’s Hook, although that film revisits the same fictional world.
