Wolverine Cast Hugh Jackman & ‘Tron Legacy’ Star Garrett Hedlund Working Together As Villains In ‘Pan’ The Origin Story Of Peter Pan

Wolverine Cast Hugh Jackman & "Tron Legacy" star Garrett Hedlund could be working together as villains in Joe Wright's movie "Pan," the origin story of Peter Pan.

It has been reported the Hedlund has been offered the role of Captain Hook in the film, which features Peter Pan's origin and how he became the figure that he is, refusing to grow up living in Never Land.

Although no confirmation has  been made yet by the representatives of "Tron Legacy" star, if he does take on the role of Captain Hook, he will most likely be working with "Wolverine" star Hugh Jackman, who is said to be also playing a role of the villain Blackbeard on the film.

However, the role of Blackbeard was reportedly first offered to "Skyfall" and "No Country for Old Men" villain Javier Bardem. Warner Bros. first approached the Spanish actor according to the reports made by Deadline. Nevertheless, Bardem allegedly turned down the offer, thus making Warner Bros. offer the said villainous role to Wolverine star Hugh Jackman.

Warner Bros. nor Wolverine star Hugh Jackman has yet to release any official statement on the issue, but with the recent development from the company, moving its highly-anticipated Batman vs. Superman release date for 2016 and replacing it with 'Pan' on July 17, 2015, it's most likely that we'll be hearing the casting news in the near future.

"Pan" is described by Variety as a Peter Pan origin story, where it would focus on the beginnings of the young orphan named Peter Pan. The script penned by Jason Fuschs will feature how Pan was brought to Neverland and how he started a revolution against the evil pirates, headed by Blackbeard. The movie will also tackle on Thinker Bell and Captain Hook's beginnings.

For those of you who are wondering about Captain Hook's role on the film, Variety reports that Hook will "serve as Pan's close ally before turning bad."

Warners is now aiming for its share of the early May box office. The studio is also pushing production on the movie to the second quarter; it was initially slated to begin shooting this winter.

"We are happy to take advantage of these coveted summer dates, which are perfect for two of our biggest tentpole releases," Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution said in a statement. "We share the fans' excitement to see DC Comics' most popular figures, Superman and Batman, together on the big screen for the first time, which will now be arriving in theatres in May 2016.  Peter Pan has delighted people of every generation for more than a century, so we are thrilled to bring him back to the screen next summer for today's moviegoers."
