Rooney Mara is headed to the world of Peter Pan.

The actress, best known for playing Lisbeth Salander in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," is in negotiations to play Tiger Lily in Warner Bros.' live-action origin tale "Pan," according to reports.

Joe Wright ("Atonement," "Pride & Prejudice") is directing the project.

Hugh Jackman will reportedly take on the role of Blackbeard in the film, while Garrett Hedlund will portray Hook. This new take on J.M. Barrie's classic tale follows a young orphan boy from London who is spirited away to Neverland.

"Pan" is slated for release on July 17, 2015.
