Gerwig’s Narnia Vision Takes Shape

Netflix first announced its plans for multiple Narnia adaptations back in 2018, securing the rights to C.S. Lewis’ classic tales. Fast forward to 2020, and Gerwig—coming off a string of directorial successes—was tapped to lead the project. Though still in early development, the film is already lined up for a two-week IMAX global premiere in Thanksgiving 2026.

This project follows Gerwig’s blockbuster Barbie, which shattered records as Warner Bros.’ highest-grossing film ever. The movie also scored multiple Oscar nods, with Billie Eilish and Finneas taking home an award for their track “What Was I Made For?” Coincidentally, Charli XCX was also part of the Barbie soundtrack, contributing the high-energy hit “Speed Drive.”

As anticipation builds, fans are keeping an eye out for more casting confirmations. Will Charli XCX step into the White Witch’s icy heels? Only time will tell.
