Greta Gerwig’s Chronicles of Narnia Movie Delays Filming

by

Greta Gerwig’s Narnia movie has delayed filming.

As an ardent admirer, I’m thrilled to share that Greta Gerwig is immersed in crafting a Narnia film for Netflix, which appears to be an interpretation of C.S. Lewis’ The Magician’s Nephew. This cinematic endeavor is slated for release in 2026 and could potentially ignite a new wave of enchantment for the streaming platform, marking the commencement of a fresh franchise.

What is the latest update on Greta Gerwig’s Narnia movie?

Previously, Producer Amy Pascal mentioned to Deadline that Greta Gerwig’s Narnia movie would start shooting in July 2025. However, as per a new report by Screen Daily, the project remains in its early stages and is now considered “doubtful” to commence filming until autumn this year.

The statement doesn’t automatically imply that the movie’s release will be delayed, but there’s a chance it could, given that the project now requires both production and post-production phases to be completed within a year. If Greta Gerwig and her team want to stick to their planned release date, they’ll need to work efficiently.

Gerwig penned the screenplay for this film, starring Emma Mackey, Daniel Craig, Carey Mulligan, and Meryl Streep lending her voice to the character of Aslan. Additionally, Mark Gordon, Vincent Sieber, and Pascal are all involved in producing the movie.

In “The Magician’s Nephew,” I step into a breathtaking journey where I bear witness to the birth of an enchanting realm. This tale is the inaugural adventure in C.S. Lewis’s timeless fantasy series that has spellbound readers across generations for over six decades. Embarking on a daring mission to rescue a soul, two companions find themselves transported into another dimension, where a wicked sorceress yearns to dominate them. Yet, as the melodious roar of Aslan, the majestic lion, resonates through the tapestry of this new world, it takes shape – a land that will forever be known as Narnia. In this mystical realm, the impossible becomes possible.

In November 2026, Greta Gerwig’s Narnia film will have a two-week screening in IMAX theaters, and on Christmas Day, December 25th, 2026, it will become available for streaming on Netflix.
