If PP is a “good guy” then I’m going to need a really exact and precise reason for why he’s holding crying boys hostage and ripping shadows from them.
Not to mention Felix saying that Bae gets to live due to him not being his future son, clearly implying that Peter Pan intends to kill Henry once he finds him.

H and K have said they want to do PP and NL different from all the other adaptations. PP in those is the boy who didn’t want to grow up but he’s not evil or bad, he’s just the very embodiment of childhood. However Once’s take is already far darker: older more sinister Lost Ones, crying children, ripping shadows, and even the Pirates seem scared of PP. I don’t think he’s going to be a good guy.
What RumplesGirl said. More to the point, this is an universe where magic comes with a price, and no price is absolutely paid by Peter Pan for using it in his tale. Clearly a change had to happen to fit the rules of Onceverse, and Peter just happens to be the one character normally portrayed as a hero where it isn’t that big a stretch to turn him into a villain due to his personality being defined by so many negative traits.
He’s certain to have a sob story explaining how he became who he is today, but he’s definitely not going to be the good guy we’re used to see.
