NBC has announced that Christopher Walken will be playing Captain Hook in the network’s live version of “Peter Pan.” The news was released at the Television Critics Association press tour. No other casting has been announced as of yet, but it seems like this role combines Christopher Walken’s two favorite things: playing villains and dancing. The musical will air Thursday, December 4.

And just because we know you haven’t watched it in a while, here’s Walken showing off those dancing chops in the Fatboy Slim music video for “Weapon of Choice.” Remember Fatboy Slim?
