46-year-old Jackman looks unrecognisable and it’s a character he’s been enjoying sinking his teeth into.

“I get to play the villain and I’m really enjoying it! And I’m loving doing some fencing,” the Aussie actor explained recently.

Fans will be delighted to check out the new trailer for the highly-anticipated film, set to hit our shores later this year in mid-September.

Directed by the brilliant mind behind British blockbusters, Atonement and Pride and Prejudice, Joe Wright along with Warner Bros are excited to breathe new life into the childhood classic.

Pan follows the story of an orphan who is spirited away to the magical Neverland. There, he finds both fun and dangers, and ultimately discovers his destiny-to become the hero who will be forever known as Peter Pan.

The film hits cinemas in October and boasts a star-studded cast including Cara Delevingne, Rooney Mara and Garrett Hedlund.
