Production on Greta Gerwig's (Lady Bird, Frances Ha, Barbie) film Narnia is currently underway in the U.K. for Netflix. Screen Daily reported that the cast includes Emma Mackey, Daniel Craig, and Carey Mulligan, "while there are unconfirmed reports that Meryl Streep was in talks to take on the voice of Aslan the lion." Amy Pascal is producing.
Gerwig wrote the screenplay, which is reportedly adapted from The Magician's Nephew, the sixth novel in C.S. Lewis's Narnia series and a prequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The film is scheduled for an international two-week Imax run in November 2026, followed by its release on Netflix later in the holiday season.
