In the 2023 film Peter Pan & Wendy, who played Captain Hook?

Jude Law played Captain Hook in the 2023 film Peter Pan & Wendy.

Directed by David Lowery, Peter Pan & Wendy is a live-action adaptation released through Disney+. Law’s Hook is the pirate captain who opposes Peter and the children in Neverland. Alexander Molony played Peter Pan, while Ever Anderson played Wendy Darling.

The film presents Hook as a figure connected to Peter’s past rather than merely a comic pirate villain. As in many versions, the character’s defining fear is the crocodile that follows him after his hand is lost. The adaptation also gives greater attention to the emotional history between Hook and Peter.

Jude Law’s casting is distinct from earlier versions. Dustin Hoffman played Hook in Hook, Jason Isaacs played him in the 2003 Peter Pan, and Hans Conried supplied the voice and movement reference for Disney’s 1953 animated version.
