Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Chronicles of Narnia film might just be adding a certain spy to its cast! Reports suggest Netflix has made an offer to none other than Daniel Craig.
While his potential role remains a mystery, fans are already running wild with theories, and most seem convinced he’s destined to voice Aslan, the lion. Here is what is going on!
What role will Daniel Craig play in Greta Gerwig’s Chronicles of Narnia movie adaptation?
Greta Gerwig, after taking her audiences to Barbie land, has her sight set on Narnia next! And it looks like Daniel Craig may be along for the ride. Deadline reports suggest Craig has been offered a role in Gerwig’s upcoming Chronicles of Narnia film, sparking plenty of speculation about which character he might play.
While some fans believe Craig could portray the bizarre Uncle Andrew, many are convinced he’s born to voice Aslan, a role that to be honest seems perfect for the actor. Given Craig’s screen presence and deep, powerful voice, the idea isn’t too far-fetched.
Craig would follow in the footsteps of Liam Neeson, who famously voiced Aslan in the previous Narnia films, if true.
Adding to that another interesting fact is that if he does say yes to the project, this would be a major project after the Knives Out series. Whatever role he ends up playing, Craig’s involvement brings serious star power to Gerwig’s adaptation, for which expectations are already high, especially after Barbie. Fans can’t wait to see her fresh take on C.S. Lewis’s beloved fantasy world.
Everything we know about Greta Gerwig’s next big Netflix project so far!
Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Chronicles of Narnia movie is starting to come together, and while there’s still a lot that is not known, some exciting updates are already making waves.
The film is believed to be an adaptation of The Magician’s Nephew, a story of the Narnia’s origins. And it will supposedly follow two kids, Digory and Polly, who accidentally stumble into Narnia just as it’s being created. Along the way, they meet Aslan and Digory’s quirky Uncle Andrew.
Other than this, not much about the plot is known as of now, and major details are still under wraps, things seem to be moving forward, with production expected to begin later this year. As per reports, the movie is set to get a special two-week IMAX run over Thanksgiving 2026 before arriving on Netflix.
As for the cast, other than Craig, rumors are heating up. Pop star Charli XCX is reportedly in talks to play the White Witch, an unexpected but an intriguing choice indeed. With Gerwig’s magic touch, a growing cast of big names, and an exciting story that dives deep into Narnia’s beginnings, this new take on The Magician’s Nephew is already shaping up to be something special.
