by

Carey Mulligan has joined the cast of Greta Gerwig’s Narnia.

As a gaming enthusiast diving into a fantasy realm, I’m thrilled to share that I’m part of an exciting project. I’m helping bring C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia to life on Netflix! My role is small but significant, as we’re working hard to kickstart a new franchise. We’re currently in the midst of casting, and some big names like Daniel Craig, Emma Mackey, and Meryl Streep are rumored to be joining us! Can’t wait to see this magical journey unfold on screen.

Who is Carey Mulligan playing in Greta Gerwig’s Narnia?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mulligan is set to take on a significant part in the Narnia production. She will portray the ill mother of Digory, one of the children embarking on the adventure.

As a gamer, I’ve got to say that Gerwig’s first Narnia movie is rumored to be an adaptation of The Magician’s Nephew, which was actually the sixth book in C.S. Lewis’ series but acts as a prequel to the rest of the tales we know and love.

Two young individuals are set free the wicked White Witch in Victorian-era London, as a result of their uncle’s dabbling with magic, according to an article in The Hollywood Reporter.

In Gerwig’s film, it’s whispered that Craig takes on the role of the uncle, whereas Streep reportedly lends her voice to Aslan. Simultaneously, Mackey has been chosen to portray the White Witch.

Throughout her acting career, Mulligan has been nominated for three Academy Awards in the Best Actress category, for the films An Education (2010), Promising Young Woman (2021), and Maestro (2024). Her extensive filmography also includes Pride & Prejudice (2005), Drive (2011), The Great Gatsby (2013), Inside Llewyn Davis (2013), Suffragette (2015), Mudbound (2017), She Said (2022), Saltburn (2023), and The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025). Additionally, she will appear in the upcoming second season of Beef alongside Oscar Isaac, Charles Melton, and Cailee Spaeny.

Mark Gordon, Amy Pascal, and Vincent Sieber are overseeing Greta Gerwig’s upcoming film, which is scheduled for a theatrical release on IMAX screens in November 2026. A month later, the movie will be available for streaming on Netflix.
