“Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew” centers on the creation of Narnia. The trailer features the creation of the wardrobe, Uncle Andrew (Daniel Craig), and the iconic lion, Aslan. It shows magic and adventure to the tune of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven.”
“Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Greta Gerwig brings C. S. Lewis’ beloved story “The Magician’s Nephew” to the screen for the first time in a sweeping adventure that invites dreamers of all ages to experience the creation of Narnia,” the official logline reads.
The cast includes newcomers David McKenna, Beatrice Campbell, alongside movie stars Craig, Meryl Streep, Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, Ciarán Hinds, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Denise Gough and Susan Wokoma.
The film will premiere in theaters on Feb. 12, 2027 and on Netflix on April 2, 2027.
There are seven “Chronicles of Narnia” books in the series, including “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” “The Horse and His Boy,” “Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia,” “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” “The Silver Chair” and “The Last Battle.”
The “Narnia” books have been adapted several times for television and film. However, this marks the first adaptation of “The Magician’s Nephew.”
