Not that the 2003 actor should play him (as he probably is too old now for the role) but that the appearance looks nice. I like that outfit much better than Disney's one. And I'm bad with actors, so I wouldn't know who that is.

I agree with you  but I doubt he would be in it,since peter pan is a bad guy... but you are right though the 2003 outfit seemed more Believeable then the traditional one,oh and ezra miller is the guy from perks of being a wallflower

You guys mentioned they like to throw in surprises.. yet you guys seem so insistent on him being a bad guy. I think it is more of a possibility that he is being controlled by someone, or power consumed... Rumple was good before he went bad. Besides you can't have a legendary hero-like character become bad, just like that. Sure you can have misinterpreted bad guys, like Hook which they did really well with, I must say. Everything is pointing to the Shadow stealing boys as the Shadow and/or Peter Pan is looking for Henry. We have no idea of the agenda, the reason or Peter Pan's story yet. That part is at least a surprise - why he is doing all of this.

Surprises such as who Peter Pan turns out to be cannot be swayed in filming as it is hard to keep that much of a surprise secret when they said he hasn't appeared in season 2 and they are looking for a 13 year old to play him. However, putting a twist such as Peter Pan's shadow being controlled by someone else and someone else being the villain can definitely fall into play here. Or that his shadow is out of control, or that he is consumed by power.

I do agree with the 2003 film though. I was 18 when that came out, felt horrified being hugely smitten with a 13 year old at the time, and still to this day (27 years old) that kid still captivates me! It has to be the best peter pan I have ever seen. Almost as true to the book too (though certain things don't really happen lol.. Wendy has more of a feminist role in the movie haha) and Peter Pan is definitely portrayed well as a womaniser. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't all alluring to Wendy and all, but guess they don't want to follow down that path if it was done really well in the movie. If anything this series likes taking the original stories and putting even more of a twist on them - perhaps not as dark as the original tales though, thankfully. From all the Peter Pan movies that have been made, if you count Hook as well, most of the focus have been either him growing up, or in 2003 movie, darker side to him luring Wendy away, but careless and reckless, to the disney sequel where he comes across the new age 'woman' - Jane. I think it was Jane, anyhow. Not a lot has been focused on him and his shadow, or him and the lost boys. So I think the twist will lie somewhere there... That's also why I definitely don't think he is going to be evil as such, I think there is another villain for season 3, and Peter will be just the lackey.. or soon to be hero.
