One of the most surprising announcements to come out of the D23 Expo was the news that Tom Hiddleston and Christina Hendricks will be lending their voices in the starring roles of the next release from the Tinker Bell film line. Hendricks will play Zarina, who she describes as “scrappy and inquisitive and smart and scientific and daring and really fun to play.” Hiddleston will voice James, the friend Zarina thinks is her best, but – plot twist – he’s totally Captain James Hook. “The Pirate Fairy” will be the first in the Tinker Bell stories to actually feature Neverland.
Why is this surprising? Well, beside the fact that the Tinker Bell releases are straight to video (they must be creating some serious bank to catch two stars of this magnitude), Hiddleston has a singing part. Yes friends and neighbors, prepare yourself to hear his singing voice sometime in the near future.
