===In film=== ====''Peter Pan'' (1924 film)==== {{Main|Peter Pan (1924 film)}} Captain Hook appears in ''Peter Pan'' (1924), portrayed by [[Ernest Torrence]]. ====''Hook'' (1991 film)==== {{Main|Hook (film)}} {{Infobox character | name = Captain James Hook | creator = Steven Spielberg | portrayer = [[Dustin Hoffman]] | nickname = Hook | occupation = Pirate | gender = Male }} Captain Hook appears in ''Hook'', portrayed by [[Dustin Hoffman]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1992-01-05-1992005112-story.html |title=Dustin Hoffman takes all roles seriously β Hook, too |first=Ryan |last=Murphy |newspaper=[[The Baltimore Sun]] |date=5 January 1992 |access-date=28 December 2019 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20181228/https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1992-01-05-1992005112-story.html |archive-date=28 December 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> Looking for purpose in his own life Hook kidnaps the children of the adult Peter to lure his arch-enemy back to Neverland and gives the middle-aged man three days to rekindle his spirit. Hook has been left feeling depressed and suicidal since Peter Pan forfeited his eternal youth and left Neverland to start a family with Wendy's granddaughter Moira and took on the new identity of Peter Banning ([[Robin Williams]]). After his initial arrival in Neverland, Banning make an unsuccessful first attempt to get Hook to release his children by offering money but Hook refuses, shooting Peter's checkbook. Hook worries he has nothing left to accomplish; he has long since killed the crocodile and made a quiet clock tower out of its corpse. Despite killing the crocodile, he remains terrified of the sound of ticking clocks and has become increasingly paranoid of the crocodile coming back, often destroying clocks to cope. At Smee's suggestion, Hook attempts to persuade Peter's children that their father never loved them, in order to coerce them to stay in Neverland. He is successful with Jack, Peter's son, who soon sees Hook as the attentive [[father figure]] that Peter has never been, and Hook eventually sees Jack as a potential heir. Peter's daughter, Maggie, mistrusts Hook immediately and refuses to be swayed, reminding Hook of her father's past defiances. Hook decides to hold Maggie hostage until Peter's failure to rescue her ruins her faith in him. This backfires when Peter and the Lost Boys rescue her immediately. Jack sees Hook stab Rufio to death in a duel and realises how much his father cares for the Lost Boys, rejecting the murderous Hook and embracing Peter once again. As Peter leaves the ship with his children and the Lost Boys, Hook orders him to come back. Maggie tells him off, stating Hook needs a mother to straighten his bad attitude. After Hook vows to kidnap future generations of children in Peter's family, Peter and Hook engage in a final duel amidst a circle of Lost Boys, Peter taunting Hook about the idea that the ticking clocks he fears are not reminders of the crocodile, but a reminder of time ticking away. After a close call where Tinker Bell deflects an attack with the hook, the crocodile clock tower seemingly comes to "life" and eats Hook when it falls on top of him. Hook's missing hand is his left and his stump takes other attachments, including a baseball mitt and a pointer. He dresses very elegantly in a gold-trimmed red coat, matching hat, and a wig that hides his balding head. He wears a ceremonial captain's sword at his side, but uses a proper duelling sword when fighting Rufio and Peter. Hook's physical appearance in the film is heavily influenced by Disney's portrayal, though with more elaborate clothing trim and his moustache is curled, shaped like a hook. He is closer to Barrie's characterisation as a gentleman pirate than in Disney's version; for instance, he frequently describes certain behaviours as "good form" or "bad form" (although he is willing to violate these rules when it suits him, such as trying to stab Peter in the back during their climatic duel). Hoffman claimed to have based the character's voice and mannerisms on conservative columnist [[William F. Buckley Jr.]] In addition to playing the titular character, Hoffman also provided the airline pilot's announcement in the scene where the Bannings fly from San Francisco to London for Christmas, as a reference to the traditional element of casting one actor in a dual-role of Captain Hook and George Darling in the original play ====''Peter Pan'' (2003 film)==== {{Main|Peter Pan (2003 film)}} {{Infobox character | name = Captain James Hook | creator = P.J. Hogan | portrayer = [[Jason Isaacs]] | nickname = Hook | occupation = Pirate | gender = Male }} Captain Hook appears in ''Peter Pan'' (2003), portrayed by [[Jason Isaacs]]. In the climactic duel, he learns to fly, almost defeating Peter Pan, but the Lost Boys' taunts weaken the enthusiasm needed to fly, and he falls into the crocodile's mouth, accepting his fate. ====''Shrek'' film series==== Captain Hook appears in the ''[[Shrek (franchise)|Shrek]]'' franchise, voiced by [[Ian McShane]]. He makes a minor appearance in ''[[Shrek 2]]'' and appears as a secondary antagonist in ''[[Shrek the Third]]''. ====''Pan'' (2015 film)==== {{Main|Pan (2015 film)}} Captain Hook appears in ''Pan'', portrayed by [[Garrett Hedlund]]. He works with Peter Pan to escape from Blackbeard's mines in Neverland and joins forces with the native tribe. Although initially only interested in leaving Neverland, Hook is attracted to Tiger Lily ([[Rooney Mara]]) and assists her and Peter in personally dueling Boatswain Bishop as Tiger Lily fights Blackbeard during the final confrontation in the fairy kingdom. At the film's conclusion, he joins Peter and Tiger Lily in rescuing other children including Peter's confidant Nibs from Peter's old orphanage back in London. Hook in this film is different from the original character, and is portrayed as a pioneer-era American without any connection with Eton, Blackbeard, or piracy in general. ====''Come Away''==== {{Main|Come Away}} Captain Hook appears in ''Come Away'', portrayed by [[David Gyasi]]. This version is a ruthless pawnbroker and lower crime lord who is the son of the [[Mad Hatter]], the paternal grandfather of [[Alice (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)|Alice]] and [[Peter Pan (character)|Peter Pan]], making CJ their paternal uncle and the paternal great-uncle of the Darling children, [[Wendy Darling|Wendy]], Michael and John. CJ takes care of his father who is showing [[senile|senility]] and thus only recognizes Jack; Alice and Peter's father as his son who CJ has always resented having grown up in his older brother's shadow. He also seems to blame Jack for the death of David who CJ seemed to view as his favorite nephew, so when Jack comes to his brother to help call off various [[debt collector]]s, CJ showing loyalty to his crime lord superiors crushes Jack's right hand leaving it to be [[amputee|amputated]]. Peter in response seeks out a group of [[Lost Boys (Peter Pan)|street urchins]] to then rob his uncle of the gold coins he's safe guarding for the various criminal underworld factions before cutting off CJ's left hand in a sword duel (when CJ catches them in the act) before fleeing to parts [[Neverland|unknown]] pursued by CJ and his cohorts. ====''Wendy''==== {{Main|Wendy (film)}} Captain Hook appears in ''Wendy'', portrayed by Kevin Pugh, with Gavin Naquin portraying his younger self. Wendy here is the youngest to two twin older brothers James and Douglas, who are taken to Neverland by Peter, who here is made ageless after a deity saved him from a disaster that killed his family by sharing her powers with him making him untouched by time. This deity who is known as "mother" stops the kids who dwell there from growing up provided they retain faith in her otherwise she lets them rapidly ages into middle age adults. When Douglas seems to drown James starts losing faith, finding his right hand start to age prematurely prompting Peter to [[amputation|amputate]] it, but despite this James continues to grow old and rallies the other adults to kill and consume "mother" in an effort to retain their lost youth with a restored fishing boat. When Wendy discovers Douglas survived from seemingly drowning both help Peter revive "mother" after she is harpooned and temporary dies. James now with a makeshift hook in place of his right hand can no longer return home with his siblings and their friends, so stays to play with Peter as his new "enemy" Captain Hook, thereby allowing him to live out the rest of his days with the spirit of a child. ====''Lost Girls''==== [[Iain Glen]] plays Hook in the 2022 film ''[[The Lost Girls (film)|The Lost Girls]]''.<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://www.screendaily.com/news/myriad-completes-uk-shoot-on-tiff-sales-title-the-lost-girls-exclusive/5152971.article|title=Myriad completes UK shoot on TIFF sales title 'The Lost Girls' (exclusive)|journal=Screen Daily|first=Jeremy|last=Kay|date=8 September 2020|accessdate=11 December 2021}}</ref> ====''Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare''==== Captain Hook appears in ''[[Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare]]'', portrayed by [[Charity Kase (drag queen)|Charity Kase]]. In the film, he was abducted by Peter 15 years ago, and is depicted as a heavily mutilated individual, chained and his hand replaced with a hook.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/exclusives/3828430/peter-pans-neverland-nightmare-exclusive-trailer/|work=Bloody Disgusting|title='Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare' Exclusive Trailer β 'Poohniverse' Movie Gets Extremely Bloody|last=Squires|first=John|date=August 30, 2024|access-date=August 31, 2024}}</ref>
