We’re hearing that Kobna Holdbrook-Smith has been cast in Greta Gerwig’s ‘NARNIA’ movie. Notable credits include Paddington 2, Wonka, Mary Poppins Returns, Doctor Strange, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and a voice role in The Sheep Detective. 🔗: narniaweb.com/2026/03/report…

Nearly a year has passed since reports first indicated that Meryl Streep was in talks to portray Aslan in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming ‘NARNIA’ adaptation. An interview now appears to finally confirm her involvement, though not specifically as Aslan. 🔗: narniaweb.com/2026/03/emma-m…




The Wood Between the Worlds sequence will appear in Netflix’s ‘NARNIA’ as we’ve learned that a real guinea pig was used during filming last year. While much from set remains under wraps, Greta Gerwig previously referenced the Wood Between the Worlds in a 2023 interview when describing her stage in the preparation process for The Magician’s Nephew: “There’s a thing in one of his books called the Wood between the Worlds. That’s where I am. It’s a wood that goes on forever, you can’t see the sky, it’s so dense, you can’t see the end of it. And there are all these pools and at the bottom of each pool is a universe. […] The problem with the the Wood between the Worlds is that you can often forget what you’re doing there (laughs). This is actually a feature of it. You kinda get a little bit of amnesia. So you have to remember, ‘where am I going? Which world am I trying to get to now?“ 🔗: narniaweb.com/2026/03/guinea…



Carey Mulligan on working with Greta Gerwig on Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew: “Oh my goodness, I loved it. I want to work with Greta forever. Seeing her in her element directing was just amazing – she’s just unbelievable. I’ve not seen a single moment where she has looked stressed or unhappy or any sort of normal emotion that you might feel directing an absolutely enormous film like this. She’s a complete joy – and that was infectious to the crew. Just the happiest crew, best cast. I can't wait to see what she’s put together.” (@ELLEUK)










Further evidence that Greta Gerwig’s ‘NARNIA’ may be leaning heavily on in-camera practical effects than just CGI. We’ve confirmed that dozens of puppeteers and creature performers were used on set, along with live animals and animatronics. Details 👉: narniaweb.com/2026/02/greta-…



Editor Andrew Weisblum on adapting ‘NARNIA’ with Greta Gerwig in a recent interview with “Art of the Cut”: “Right now, I’m working on a film that…the source material is very well known…I’m choosing not to refer back to that material because we’re doing our own take on it.”
