Narnia Cast: Daniel Craig Eyed for Greta Gerwig’s Netflix Adaptation

by

The upcoming Netflix film based on C.S. Lewis’s Narnia series is generating buzz due to recent casting news. It appears that Daniel Craig has been approached for a part in Greta Gerwig’s version of the story, although his specific character hasn’t been disclosed yet. Rumors suggest he may play Uncle Andrew Ketterley. Fans are eagerly waiting for additional details as production is set to start towards the end of this year.

Netflix has offered Daniel Craig Narnia mystery role

According to Deadline’s report, Netflix is considering Daniel Craig for a part in the forthcoming Narnia film interpretation helmed by Greta Gerwig.

I’m not sure yet if I’ll take up the offer or which character I’ll play, as the details are still under wraps. However, it’s being whispered that the movie is based on The Magician’s Nephew, the first tale in C.S. Lewis’ epic series, The Chronicles of Narnia. If the rumors are true, I might be up for the role of Uncle Andrew Ketterley – a quirky magician with a hint of villainy. Exciting times ahead!

In 2018, Netflix unveiled their intention to create several Narnia-themed productions, with Greta Gerwig being confirmed as both writer and director of a feature film. The production is set to start in London come June 2025 and wrap up around Christmas that year. Initially, the movie will have an exclusive run on IMAX screens over Thanksgiving 2026 before becoming available for streaming on Netflix during the Christmas season. Additionally, Charli XCX has been rumored to be involved in the project and may portray the White Witch. The casting process is ongoing for the two primary characters.

In a thrilling turn of events, I had the privilege of joining forces with Netflix once more as Benoit Blanc in the captivating Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022). Fast-forward to 2025, I’m set to bring back this enigmatic character in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. This intriguing tale is slated for release towards the end of that year. Beyond these iconic appearances, I’ve left my mark on screen with roles in James Bond, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Layer Cake, and the critically acclaimed production by A24, Queer.

According to reports, Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of “The Magician’s Nephew” is set to kick off their Narnia series. It’s been seven years since Netflix obtained the rights to C.S. Lewis’ books, and this film production signifies the start. As things progress, we can expect more cast announcements and production specifics to be revealed.
