The first trailer for Narnia: The Magician's Nephew, directed by Greta Gerwig, has been released. Serving as a return to C.S. Lewis's beloved fantasy universe, the production reaches far back before the story of the Pevensie siblings to explore how Narnia came to be.
In the trailer, the audience is taken on a journey from the "Wood between the Worlds" to the emergence of Aslan. Meryl Streep lends her voice to Aslan, one of the central mythological figures of the series. The prominent scenes in the trailer, where Aslan appears in a cosmic atmosphere, stand out as one of the indicators that the film will focus on the creation story.
The cast includes Emma Mackey as Jadis, the character who will later be known as the White Witch. In the footage, Jadis presents a different atmosphere from known interpretations of the character with her silver-toned metallic costume and eerie appearance.
Daniel Craig plays Uncle Andrew, the character who sends children to other worlds via magic rings. This character, who opens the fantasy door of the story, stands out as one of the important pieces of the plot leading to the birth of Narnia.
THEATRICAL AND NETFLIX DATES
One of the notable choices in the trailer was the use of music. The promo features Led Zeppelin's 1971 classic song "Stairway to Heaven". The song, one of the most well-known tracks in rock history, is used in conjunction with Narnia's mythological and magical atmosphere.
Netflix will present the film to audiences with a schedule that includes a theatrical release rather than releasing it solely on the digital platform. Narnia: The Magician's Nephew will be released in theaters worldwide on February 12, 2027. The film's release date on Netflix has been announced as April 2, 2027.
