Milla Jovovich's daughter, 12-year-old Ever Gabo Anderson, comes from a family of showbiz royalty. Milla is recognized and remembered for her roles in cult science fiction films, and her dad Paul W. S Anderson is a renowned director, producer, and screenwriter. Her grandmother on Milla's side, Galina Jovovich, was also a famous actress in her native Russia. Now it has been reported that Ever has found her own time to shine, and has landed the role of Wendy, in the new live action version of Peter Pan.
Proud mom Milla, took to Instagram, to make the announcement. Talking about Ever, she said "after a worldwide search, she’s been cast as Wendy in Disney's new live action Peter and Wendy movie!! We’re so proud of our baby!" It comes as no surprise that Ever would want to become an actress; not only does she have her parents to influence her, but she also spent a lot of time on the sets of Resident Evil as a small child, and even got to play her mom's character in a flashback, during the 2016 sequel to the film.
At the time of Ever being present on the Resident Evil sets, at age just 2 and a half, her father Paul said "She knows if she wants to sit on set and look at the monitors, she has to be quiet. She wears her headphones and she tells me: ‘Daddy, there’s a lot of cables. You have to be careful of the cables.’ So she’s a real delight!" Apparently Ever was banned from the set whenever there were zombies present, in order to prevent nightmares, but absolutely loved being there the rest of the time.
Not only has Ever landed the role of Wendy, but mom Milla also shared more news during her Instagram post. She said "It was just announced in @variety that Ever plays the young Natasha Romanoff in Marvel’s @black.widow movie in theaters this May 1st." She really is carving out a name for herself, and of course, Natasha Romanoff will be played by Scarlett Johansson; her career is certainly off to a great start.
David Lowery, who directed Pete's Dragon, is set to direct the new live action Peter Pan, and Alexander Molony has been tipped as the Peter to Ever's Wendy. Filming is scheduled to start this summer. Ever has reportedly been wanting to act since the age of five, and her family must be very proud to see her making her dreams come true.
