Jude Law is back in action as the villainous Captain Hook as he films scenes on board the Jolly Roger for Disney’s Peter Pan And Wendy

He’s taking on the challenge of playing the villainous Captain Hook in a new Peter Pan movie.

And on Tuesday, Jude Law showed he’s mastered the metal appendage to his right arm as he filmed scenes on board the Jolly Roger set in Vancouver, Canada.

The British actor was seen in costume on the ship set looking through a long telescope, holding the end of the instrument up with his character’s hook. 

Ahoy, me hearties! Jude Law was back in action as Captain Hook on Tuesday on the set of Disney’s new live-action Peter Pan movie that’s currently filming in Vancouver, Canada

Law was surrounded by a cast of extras playing his crew as the cameras rolled.

He was dressed in a red waistcoat and long blue top coat with gold naval-style markings.

The usually dapper star sported long hair and a straggly full beard for the part.

The Jolly Roger ship has been constructed in a large commercial parking lot in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond, close to the Fraser River.

Law is the latest in a line of actors to take on the role of Captain Hook, who stalks the magical Neverland pursued by the crocodile that ate his severed hand while seeking to avenge his injury on Lost Boy Peter Pan.

Previous incarnations of Hook  have been played by the likes of Dustin Hoffman and Jason Isaacs.

The decision to do a live-action version of the Peter Pan story came following the success of live-action versions of other Disney animated classics such as The Jungle Book, Aladdin and The Lion King.  

Rogue: Many actors have played Hook over the years, most famously Dustin Hoffman in the 1991 film Hook, opposite Robin Williams as a grown-up version of Pan
