Traditionally, Peter Pan has always been played by a female but I don’t think we’re going to see this in the series either. 😉 But then……….we had Jack, so one never quite knows 🙂

Not in the movies. Bobby Driscoll voiced him in the Disney film, and Jeremy Sumpter played him in the 2003 film.

I should have been more specific as I was referring to the stage production, which in my mind (apart from the books) is canon. Both the Disney’s 1953 animated movie and the 2003 movie strayed from canon in various areas.

With J.M. Barrie’s stage production, it was difficult to hire child actors to work the long productions hours back in the early 1900’s. That’s why the role of Peter Pan was originally played by a small female and as stage tradition goes, the casting of a female stuck.

With Captain Hook, it was cheaper to have one actor play both roles. In the books, it is also believed that all adults are pirates. Only made sense to cast both Mr. Darling and Captain Hook with the same actor. 🙂

There are, after all, pictures of the Lost Boys in Stevenson from the finale, potentially suggesting that they arrived at Storybrooke at some point, and I think it was mentioned that Freya Tingley, who we now know plays Wendy, was with them.

I'm really curious to see the context those Lost Boys appear in. If they stowed away when Hook left NL, then that would explain them being in SB. But there's also the chance that the pics were just of the actors hanging out on the dock before getting onto the ship to film something, so perhaps the scene they shot wasn't actually set in SB. Though I do have a vague recollection of some scene that involved kids running down the street? Will have to see if I can find it to see if I'm just mis-remembering. Pretty sure that Freya, and the other girl (Laine?), were mentioned as being seen on set on the same day that the Lost Boys were hanging around.

I believe there'll be a scene with the Lost Boys in Past Storybrooke because I see it likely that they'll close his backstory by showing the moment Bae came (back) to our world, and what better way for it to be done than by having the arrival be in Storybrooke, Bae get a shock at seeing Rumple and run like hell from him, leaving the Lost Boys behind?

The official press release has Andrew Airlie listed as George Darling, so nope Colin is not playing him.
