Post-'Barbie,' Gerwig Takes On Narnia

Gerwig wrote and directed the film after pitching Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos at a party; her first draft began in 2021. The four-time Oscar nominee calls it a story about good and evil — and the life and death of the universe. Photo: Interaksyon/Philstar

Newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell play Digory and Polly, the two children who first discover the magical worlds. In the trailer, Polly asks her friend: 'Do you believe in magic?' Photo: via Posta (Narnia film still)

Meryl Streep Voices Aslan The trailer's finale is electrifying: a cosmic, nebulous creature explodes into lion form as Aslan creates a world from stars. Gerwig told Empire she wanted a voice profound but not pretentious — with gravitas, pathos, joy and delight. Photo: LiveLaughLoveDo (DatoCMS)

Emma Mackey Is the Glittery White Witch

Mackey plays Jadis, the future White Witch, styled as a glittery, Bowie-esque enchantress. The look leans hard into Gerwig's rock-and-psychedelia vision of Narnia. Photo: Getty (via Inbella)

The Wood Between the Worlds

Magic rings let the children leap through Technicolor pools into the wood between the worlds — a forest linking hundreds of realms. One of those realms is the newborn Narnia. Photo: Disney/Walden Media (via Poltrona Pop)

The 'Stairway to Heaven' Coup

The trailer is scored by Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' — a song the band famously never licensed for movies. Gerwig said she was deeply moved they allowed it. Photo: Wide Open Country

'They Love C.S. Lewis'

Gerwig personally met singer Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page to win their approval. She said they understood the heart of the film — and, like her, they love C.S. Lewis. Photo: Getty (via Men's Journal)

A Rock-Fueled IMAX Unveiling

Hours before the trailer dropped online, Gerwig previewed it with Stephen Colbert at the AMC Lincoln Square IMAX in New York. The pre-show playlist was all Bowie, Rolling Stones and Todd Rundgren. Photo: Getty (via Reality Tea)

Save the Dates: Feb 12 and April 2

The film hits theaters Feb 12, 2027, with IMAX sneak previews starting Feb 10. It streams on Netflix from April 2, 2027 — a theatrical window that's a first for Netflix. Photo: Netflix (via Bustle)

Why Start With the 1955 Prequel?

'The Magician's Nephew' (1955) was published after 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' (1950) but is first in chronology. That's why Gerwig started here: the book is about creation — 'a lion singing a world to life.' Photo: via Squarespace source
