List of characters Daniel Craig could play in Netflix’s Narnia

According to reports from Deadline, it’s said that Netflix has proposed a role for James Bond actor Daniel Craig in Greta Gerwig’s forthcoming Narnia adaptation. It’s undecided if he’ll take the offer or decline it. Filming is scheduled to start towards the end of this year.

Here’s a list of characters that many think Craig could potentially play:

  • Uncle Andrew Ketterley: What’s On Netflix claims that Craig remains a key choice for the role of the beloved magician in the upcoming movie. He is a creepy and eccentric magician who uses his extraordinary powers for personal gain. Andrew strongly believes that his magic exempts him from the moral code and regulations that bind ordinary people. He is the first human to step into the world of Narnia and initially plans on exploiting it. Additionally, he is also Digory Kirke’s uncle.
  • The Cabby: During his time on earth, Frank, aka The Cabby, was an ordinary man, driving a cab for a living. He later becomes the first ruler of Narnia, governing the land and Archenland until the Age of Conquest’s end.
  • Voice of Aslan: In previous movies, Liam Neeson lent his voice to the talking lion, Aslan. However, fans think that Craig would also be a great choice to voice the King of Beasts.
  • Voice of Fledge/Strawberry: Fledge is a horse in the Narnia franchise. On earth, Cabby was the master of this horse, who was originally named Strawberry. Upon entering Narnia, Fledge was specially transformed into the first flying horse and was also graced with talking abilities.
