Disney continues to make strides in diversifying its classic characters after setting Halle Bailey as Ariel and now it's cast Grown-ish star, Yara Shahidi as TINKERBELL in David Lowry's Peter Pan and Wendy movie!!

This is the first time a person of colour has filled this role that has traditionally been a white actress

She joins Jude Law who plays Captain Hook and Alexander Molony and Ever Anderson as Peter and Wendy

This movie is NOT expected to go to Disney+ and will be THEATRICAL..

The 1953 animated classic is still the most successful adaptation of J.M Barrie novel about Peter Pan and the magical world of Neverland

The movie is expected to film soon in Vancouver, Canada

No. However I do find it irksome when companies change well established characters rather than build new ones. It's lazy if nothing less. Miles Morales for example is fine as he's a new character despite also been a "spider-man". They didn't just make Peter Parker black. Still this live action remake is either going to work or not. The race of the characters doesn't change anything on that front.

I find the hypocrisy of Disney and Hollywood at large have consistently started to go out of their way to "cast the right race for the role" while simultaneously recasting white roles somewhat annoying. And, if they had to recast any race, I think I would have rather seen Idris Elba as Captain Hook.

People upset by a black Tinkerbell would probably freak out if they learned that Peter Pan has always been played by a woman (Mary Martin, Sandy Duncan, Cathy Rigby, and Allison Williams).

Always? lulwut? Bobby Driscoll voiced him in the Disney film, arguably the most popular incarnation of the character. Was Bobby Driscoll a woman?

Robin frigging Williams played Peter Pan in Hook. Was Robin Williams a woman (in anything other Mrs. Doubtfire)?

Robbie Kay played Peter in Once Upon a Time. Is Robbie Kay a woman?

Jeremy Sumpter played the role in 2003's Peter Pan.

Levi Miller played Peter in 2015's Pan.

In fact, even a lot of the stage versions (really the only place Peter was played by a woman) have had male Peter Pans.

Eh, sure, he might also be fun. The other good thing is we know he'll do anything for a paycheck, so the sky is the limit.

Doesn't Disney know they can't sell this to fascist China? Might as well say that this flopped on arrival, because it won't sell here either since Disney is associated with concentration camps in China plus the blackwashing that will give normies issues. It's time they made original works again.

Some folk are not used to change. As said before changing a well established characters race just for "diversity" always seems dumb. Making new characters would be better but I guess that's hard. I look forward to when Chris Evans plays Blade.

It's garbage because it's a live action disney remake, black tinkerbell just doesn't add anything to it, or take away from it for that matter, but it definitely fits Disney's sjw pandering

A live action remake would suggest everything from the animated film would be carried over to real life actors and actresses. Unfortunately Disney live action remakes seem to be changing things for no real reason. Look at Mulan.

I disagree. A live action remake of a Disney classic is indeed a attempt to bring the animated characters to life thus should follow everything to a t. When they don't things go downhill fast. Again look at Mulan. As said before. Disney want "diversity"? Then Disney should make new characters and not replace old ones to fit some snowflake native.

That's only your opinion and in no way reflects the reality of a remake.

What narrative does a black Tinkerbell push? It changes nothing about the character except the outward appearance.

Its the first extreme example I thought of. You can change XXX with anything really but the point still stands. The further away they go from the original the more and more it becomes less or a remake.

It's lazy to just make the same story over and over again with no variation

Then perhaps they should call it something else and have some originality, They won't though because the name sells. It's more easy to make a chracters a different race and sexuality then think of anything original.
