Yes, nothing says "Aslan" like "hormonal imbalance."

What a suprise?! Netflix doesn't listen to controversy or backlash.

Greta Gerwig‘s “Narnia” movie will be getting a full Imax theatrical release in early 2027.

Previously slated for a Thanksgiving 2026 release, the film is now set to open in theaters on Feb. 12, 2027, and on Netflix on April 2, 2027. Sneak previews of “Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew” will begin on Imax screens on Feb. 10.

The film adaptation of C.S Lewis’ book stars Carey Mulligan, Daniel Craig, Meryl Streep, Emma Mackey and more.

Gerwig is writing and directing the fantasy adventure, which follows “The Magician’s Nephew” — the sixth novel in the series. The story serves as a prequel to “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and centers on the creation of Narnia by ASLAN THE LION (VOICED BY STREEP).

Also, I'm not getting my hopes up just yet, but there is a rumor that Streep might not actually be voicing Aslan because she was on-set in for the film. She actually might be playing Aunt Letty in the film and that actor Cirian Hands might actually be voicing Aslan because he was doing voice work for the film.

So much for that. Gerwig officially confirmed Streep is voicing Aslan.

Was going to say. If the rumor was wrong you'd think TPTB would have been quick to squash it and avoid the controversial press for it.

I don't like the idea of this either. Gerwig said that David Bowie's rock-n-roll world was her inspiration for this film. That doesn't mix with Narnia.

This article makes a good point. Another problem with this movie is that it will be set in 1950 instead of 1900 like in the book. Should Nextflix adapt The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, then it wouldn't be set during World War II and the Pevensie children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy wouldn't be sent to the English countryside suring the London air raides.
