Disney is making a live-action remake of Peter Pan and the role of Tinker Bell will be played by Yara Shahidi!

Peter Pan and Wendy is the title of the upcoming movie being made at Disney and it will be given a theatrical release, according to Deadline.

Jude Law is set to play Captain Hook with newcomers Alexander Molony and Ever Anderson (who is Milla Jovovich‘s daughter) taking on the title roles.

This marks the first time that a person of color will be playing the role of Tinker Bell and we think Yara is such a great choice! She is best known for her role as Zoey on Black-ish and the spinoff series Grown-ish. She also starred in the recent YA movie The Sun Is Also a Star.

David Lowery, who directed Disney’s Pete’s Dragon remake, will be directing the film from a script he co-wrote with Toby Halbrooks.

Jennifer Lopez, Nick Jonas, Kristen Bell, and more stars are paying it forward in the heartwarming trailer for Thanks a Million.

The series, executive produced by Jennifer Lopez, will premiere with the launch of the Quibi app on April 6.

Tracy Morgan, Aaron Rodgers, Yara Shahidi, Gabriel Iglesias, Anthony Davis, Kevin Hart, and Karlie Kloss will also each lead an individual episode.

Across 10 episodes, $1,000,000 will be put in the hands of everyday people.

The Quibi app is now available for pre-order. Quibi is currently offering a 90-day free trial for a limited time to those who sign up at Quibi.com before April 30.

During her appearance on The Tonight Show the night before, Yara opened up about the longest prank she ever pulled.

“I was trying to figure out something that would last long [to pull on my brother Sayeed], so one time I was on a walk with my brother and he saw a wood chip that looked like a mouse, and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a collageon, Sayeed,’” she shared. “I just made up a word. I was like, ‘It’s something that falls from the sky that looks like an animal.’ ‘Cause I was like, the more specific you can get, the better.”

Yara adds that “for two years, he swore this was like a really fancy art term. And we also went to a decently small school, so I was the cool sixth grader who got all of the fourth graders to believe that this was a word.”

“I was well into middle school when they realized [it wasn't true],” she explained. “I was in the car with him and I was like, ‘Remember when you believed in the word collageon?’ And I didn’t realize that he still believed in it to that day, and I gave myself away.”

FYI: Yara wore a floral Richard Quinn coat with Malone Souliers shoes.

Photographed by Italian photographer Paolo Roversi, who was also in attendance, the “Looking for Juliet” calendar published by the Italian tyre manufacturer also features Kirsten Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg and others, including Roversi‘s daughter Stella.

“There’s no Romeo here, there are only Juliets who show up for a casting call, respond to questions, and reveal their own version of the character before re-enacting a passage from the tragedy, in costume,” photographer Paolo Roversi told Vogue earlier this year of his inspiration for the 2020 calendar. “What was very moving was to see actresses of this level audition like it was their first casting. There’s something so innocent, naïve, and sincere about it that really corresponds to Juliet.”

FYI: Claire Foy is wearing a The Vampire’s Wife dress. Mia Goth is wearing a Givenchy Atelier outfit. Yara Shahidi is wearing a Gucci dress and Harry Kotlar earrings.
