A continuation of the recently released film "Pan" has not been set in stone, according to new reports. While sequels and reboots are now the in thing in Hollywood, it appears that the Hugh Jackman-led film's future remains unclear.
Cinema Blend reports that per actress Rooney Mara, who plays Tiger Lily in the film, notes that the decision has yet to be made because it all depends on the success of the movie, which has yet to be determined in the box office.
The actress admits that it's all up in the air right now but there is a lot of ways the story could go, should a sequel or sequels be developed. "I don't think people are talking about sequels until they see if people respond to this film. But certainly, there's a lot that they could explore," quoted the publication of 30-year-old artist.
As it stands, the initial reviews of the film have been mixed. Predictions surrounding the Joe Wright film have been mild at best. Cinema Blend notes that "while the film hasn't exactly savagely been attacked by critics, it's hardly been soundly endorsed either." Analysts peg that the film could end up being a flop for Warner Bros., which has pumped in about $150 million to produce the silver screen adventure.
Rooney Mara On Her Casting Controversy
Mara hasn't expressed her desire to leave or return to any possible sequel. The path to making the film hasn't been peachy, especially for Mara who was surrounded with a "whitewashing" controversy with regards to her role.
People reports that when they caught up with Mara at the NYC premiere of Pan, Mara says the entire experience "wasn't great" and she "felt really bad about it."
As a Caucasian actress playing the role of a Native American princess, the casting of the actress was attacked and criticized online. "It was something that I thought about before I met with Joe," recalled the gorgeous actress. "When I met with Joe and heard what his plans for it were, it was something I really wanted to be a part of," she said sharing her excitement to be part of the project released Oct. 9.
"But I totally sympathize with why people were upset and feel really bad about it," she commented.
On a personal level, she admitted she felt a connection with the character. "I think we're both very independent women who can hold their own. We don't need a man to save us."
