1* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $150 million. Gross, $35,088,320 (domestic); $128,388,320 (worldwide). It was one of the biggest bombs of 2015.
2* CastTheRunnerUp: For the Latin Spanish dub, Mireya Mendoza (the regular voice of Creator/AmandaSeyfried) voiced Mary in the first trailer, but Leyla Rangel was cast instead. Despite this, Mireya was given the part of Tiger Lily.
3* CreatorBacklash: Creator/RooneyMara [[http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/i-feel-really-bad-and-embarrassed-to-be-a-part-of-that-rooney-mara-talks-hollywood-whitewashing-her-role-in-pan-20160222 has since regretted]] playing Tiger Lily due to inadvertently perpetuating [[RaceLift whitewashing]] in the industry.
4* CreatorBreakdown: Joe Wright has admitted that he was so devastated by the film's box office failure that he almost retired from directing.
5* DeletedRole: Leni Zieglmeier was cast as Wendy but her scenes were cut from the final film.
6* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/HughJackman shaved his head bald and grew a thick bushy beard for his role as Blackbeard.
7* FakeBrit: Creator/HughJackman, Creator/AmandaSeyfried and Creator/RooneyMara use British accents to play the Neverland characters. Averted with Hook though, who becomes American like Creator/GarrettHedlund.
8* PlayingAgainstType:
9** Director example. Creator/JoeWright has found most of his fame doing period dramas like ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice2005'', ''{{Literature/Atonement}}'' and ''Literature/AnnaKarenina''. Here he's helming a PG fantasy flick.
10** Creator/HughJackman tends to play a dark AntiHero, as opposed to the AgentPeacock AntiVillain that Blackbeard is.
11* PromotedFanboy: Levi Miller is a huge fan of Peter Pan, having played him in drama productions and lists PJ Hogan's [[Film/PeterPan film]] as one of his favourites.
12* SoMyKidsCanWatch: Creator/JoeWright directed the film for his son.
13* StillbornFranchise: More films were planned, presumably featuring Hook's eventual FaceHeelTurn and more of Wendy and Tinker Bell. After the colossal bomb that was the first, that put the kibosh on any franchise hopes.
14* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
15** Creator/JavierBardem was the first choice for the role of Blackbeard [[note]][[HilariousInHindsight He was also previously considered]] to play [[Creator/IanMcShane the version of the character]] than appeared in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides'', though he eventually played the BigBad of the [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales next film in that franchise]][[/note]].
16** Creator/LupitaNyongo was considered for the role of Tiger Lily before Creator/RooneyMara was cast. But given that Mara herself admitted that her casting in the role of an originally Native American character was problematic, one would expect that Nyong'o would have been an equally poor casting choice, given the circumstances.
