Garrett Hedlund to play Captain Hook

Joe Wright's reboot for Peter Pan is shaping up smoothly. We just learned that the role of Captain Hook has gone to Garrett Hedlund (Tron: Legacy). Previously there were rumors that Hugh Jackman was being looked at for the role of Blackbeard.

Hedlund reportedly beat out Jack Huston and Ezra Miller for the role of Captain Hook. The role is described as a lead role, but it's not confirmed whether he is already a captain in this adaptation. Given the age of the actors being considered I wouldn't be surprised to see him be an ordinary pirate and not a captain just yet.

Pan is set for theaters on July 17, 2015.
