Yara Shahidi Had a Very Different Filming Experience Than Her 'Peter Pan & Wendy' Co-Stars

Yara Shahidi is opening up about filming her upcoming movie Peter Pan & Wendy!

The 22-year-old grown-ish star, who will play Tinker Bell, recently dished on the process and how it was quite different from that of her co-stars.

Filming took place all the way back in Spring 2021 on the movie, which is slated to be out on Disney+ later this year.

While most of the production took place in Vancouver, Yara filmed her parts in California.

“It was incredible, and I thought I was being punked the whole time,” she said during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show. “Because, you know, I know I’m being part of Peter Pan & Wendy, and you see, with Avatar coming out, what behind-the-scenes of all these CGI motion-capture movies look like.”

“So I was ready for the harnesses and the suits with the dots on it,” she continued. “[My co-stars] were on incredible sets in Vancouver, and I was in a garage in Burbank the whole time… They realize, I mean, the tech is so advanced. And, you know, to an untrained eye, which I am, it looks like GoPros on some grip stands, holding things together.”

“I had my castmates on little poles, like, pictures of their face on little stands around me for reference,” Yara said. “Sometimes when I needed to act opposite somebody, they had a life-size Kermit the Frog doll for me to work with.”

We don’t have a trailer for Peter Pan & Wendy, yet, or an exact release date. However, you can catch a small glimpse at Yara and some of the cast in a 2023 teaser that Disney+ released.

Alexander Molony stars as Peter Pan, with Ever Anderson as Wendy, Jude Law as Captain Hook and more. Find out more about the movie and the cast here!
