Bald and Bearded, "X-Men" series' Wolverine Hugh Jackman revealed his new looks, as he and the production crew of the upcoming movie "Pan" started filming in London.
The 45-year-old Australian actor started sporting a clean-shaved head while maintaining a bushy beard and mustache in preparation for his role as the villain Blackbeard in the upcoming Warner Bros. film "Pan." Jackman also flew to London to start filming scenes for the movie, told Venture Capital Post.
The multi-awarded actor expressed his excitement being a part of the "Peter Pan" origin movie. Citing an interview from Huffington post, Venture Capital Post quoted Jackman saying, "I love the director Joe Wright, I love working with Warner Bros and I think this is just really exciting. It's a very cool project. And it's wonderful for my kids!"
Meanwhile, Jackman's "Les Miserables" co-star Amanda Seyfried and Victoria's Secret Angel Cara Delevingne were recently added as new cast members of the film, Kpopstarz reported. Seyfried will portray the role of Mary, the mother of Darling siblings Wendy, John, and Michael. Delevingne, on the other hand, will play the role of a mermaid. They will join the stellar cast of the film including budding actor Levi Miller (Peter Pan), "Tron Legacy" star Garret Hedlund (Hook), and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" cast Rooney Mara (Wendy).
Under the direction of Joe Wright, "Pan" will feature how the story of the iconic fairy tale character Peter Pan originated and how he came to Neverland. Audiences will also get to see Hook as "Pan's close ally before turning bad," Variety noted.
Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. President of Domestic Distribution, expressed his delight to bring the Peter Pan back to the big screen. Kpopstarz quoted a statement from Fellman saying, "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."
