We are about to get the coolest Tinkerbell....ever!

Actress, activist and all round awesome human **Yara Shahidi** has been named as the new Tinkerbell in an upcoming live-action remake of *Peter Pan.* 

The Disney production, called *Peter Pan and Wendy*, will also star **Alexander Molony** as the boy who never grows up, **Ever Anderson** as fellow protagonist, Wendy and **Jude Law** as Captain Hook.

But let's get back to Tinkerbell...

**Yara** will be *making history* as the first Black actress to take on the role...and looks like she's pretty excited about it!

"lettssssssgoooooo," she writes in an Insta post, confirming the news:

Previous Tinks include **Julia Roberts, Ludivine Sagnier** and **Rose McIver.**

Disney has been making moves to diversify their casting lately with **Yara's** *Grown-ish* co-star **Halle Bailey** starring as Ariel in the live-action remake of *The Little Mermaid* and **Niles Fitch** who plays a Black prince in *Secret Society of Second-Born Royals.*
