It’s not clear at this point in time how Peter Pan & Wendy is going to prove to be a different version of J.M. Barrie’s novel and play than previous cracks taken by directors.
Obviously the Walt Disney Animation Studios version of the film exists from 1953, and given the production strategy at the studio in recent years it would shock nobody if that turned out to be a major influence on the project, even while other things may be changed.
That being said, writer/director David Lowery previously made Pete’s Dragon for Disney, another remake of a classic property, and the new movie was surprisingly very different – with the majority of elements beyond the central premise being changed.
