Narnia Set Photos Give First Look at Greta Gerwig’s Next Movie
The first set photos for Greta Gerwig‘s upcoming fantasy movie, Narnia, have been revealed, confirming that production has already started in London. The Netflix adaptation project is based on C.S. Lewis’ classic novel series The Chronicles of Narnia, which the streamer acquired nearly seven years ago through a multi-year deal.
The reboot will be given a two-week theatrical IMAX run in November 2026 before then hitting Netflix on December 25, 2026.
What do the Narnia set photos show?
Shared on X, the set photos for Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew show Gerwig directing children wearing clothes from what looks like the 1950s. Two of the children featured in the photos are a curly-haired girl wearing a blue dress and a dark-haired boy wearing a sweater vest. They are reportedly playing the respective roles of Polly Plummer and Digory Kirke. In addition, the set photos also seemingly confirmed that the upcoming reboot will take place during the 1950s instead of the 1900s, the novel series’ original setting.
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.
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.
