Greta Gerwig’s Narnia Movie Gets Promising Filming Update After Delays
Netflix‘s highly anticipated adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ classic fantasy novel series, The Chronicles of Narnia, has finally received a brand new update regarding its filming start. This comes after nearly seven years since the streamer acquired the rights to the Lewis’ acclaimed novel series through a multi-year deal.
Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew will be directed by Greta Gerwig from a screenplay she wrote. So far, the acclaimed filmmaker has assembled a star-studded cast consisting of Emma Mackey, Daniel Craig, Carey Mulligan, and Meryl Streep as the voice of Aslan. This marks Mackey and Streep’s latest collaboration with Gerwig after previously working together on Barbie and Little Women, respectively. The adaptation is produced by Amy Pascal, Mark Gordon, and Vincent Sieber.
When will Greta Gerwig’s Narnia movie start filming?
According to NarniaWeb, Greta Gerwig’s Narnia reboot is reportedly set to finally start its production in September in London. The outlet notes that the creative team is now in the final stages of pre-production as some of the crew, including “electricians, lighting technicians, and on-set VFX crew,” have already begun their work.
The original Narnia franchise has taken in nearly $1.6 billion worldwide with three feature films: 2005’s The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, 2008’s Prince Caspian, and 2010’s The Voyager of the Dawn Treader. The original starred William Mosely, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley, Liam Neeson, Tilda Swinton, James McAvoy, Ben Barnes, Peter Dinklage, and Will Poulter.
The reboot will be given a two-week theatrical IMAX run in November 2026 before it will then hit Netflix on December 25, 2026.
