The project known as “Pan”, takes place before the events of Barrie’s original stage play, which is probably the best-known version of the story. The “James Bond” star is a mesmerizing and talented actor, his portrayal as the stone cold killer Anton Chigurh in “No Country for Old Men” will forever be one of his most defining roles. It will be a fun watch to see Bardem taking on a role as Captain Blackbeard. Bardem can be seen next in “The Gunman” with Sean Penn and Idris Elba.
