Garrett Hedlund Could Play Captain Hook For Joe Wright In 'Pan'

Briefly: The dark Peter Pan origin story Pan may have one of its main characters: Garrett Hedlund has been offered the role of Captain Hook. Joe Wright (Atonement, Hanna) is set to direct, with the film slated for a summer 2015 release.

But Hedlund won't be the villain; the film starts off with Peter and the future Captain Hook as friends. Hook has a crew job on Blackbeard's ship, and the Jason Fuchs script features Blackbeard as the villain. Hugh Jackman has been linked to the Blackbeard role, but there's no Pan yet. [THR]
