Before the recent Disney+ Peter Pan and Wendy movie, Disney was said to be developing a solo Tinker Bell film titled Tink, with Reece Witherspoon (The Morning Show, Legally Blond) in line to star as the attention-craving fairy.
It's been quite a while since we had any updates, and it was generally assumed that plans had been shelved indefinitely, but a new rumor doing the rounds online is claiming that the project is still in development, and Disney may be eyeing a major A-list star for the title role.
According to reliable insider Daniel Richtman (via Patreon), the House of Mouse wants Jennifer Lawrence (No Hard Feelings, The Hunger Games) to play Tink.
Richtman doesn't share many other details, but does mention that Witherspoon is still involved as a producer and may wind up playing a different character.
Maria Melnik (Escape Room, American Gods) was previously attached to write the script, but there's a chance Disney will be going back to the drawing board with a new creative team.
Though plot details remain a mystery, an unofficial story breakdown (via The DisInsider) that popped up online a couple of years ago would seem to indicate that Tink will be a prequel.
"After Peter becomes gravely injured, Tink makes a deal with the head fairy (named Variel Tarin) to save his life. This results in Peter staying a 9-year-old forever, and Tink losing her voice. The story doesn’t end there, though. After Peter meets Wendy, Tink becomes incredibly jealous. However, when Hook kidnaps Peter she and Wendy must team up to save him before it’s too late."
