With Netflix pushing ahead on its grand plans for the Narnia film series, Daniel Craig is said to have been given a part in an upcoming movie. Although the details of the deal are yet to be finalized, this casting offer suggests that well-known figures could be involved in the adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ enchanting fantasy novels, aiming to introduce these cherished stories to a new audience.
It’s uncertain if Craig will accept the film offer or what character he might play. Regardless, production is scheduled for later this year, with Netflix and director Greta Gerwig gathering an impressive cast. Previously, Deadline suggested that singer Charli XCX was in discussions to assume the role of the White Witch, suggesting a new and contemporary twist on the traditional tale.
2018 saw Netflix unveil its intentions to create new Chronicles of Narnia films and series, acquiring the rights to the complete book collection. In 2020, Greta Gerwig was officially appointed as director for the initial movie, generating significant excitement following her achievement with Barbie. As of now, specifics are still under wraps; however, it’s confirmed that the film will have a unique two-week IMAX premiere during Thanksgiving 2026 before making its way to Netflix.
Should Craig become part of the project, it signifies another partnership between him and Netflix, stemming from his portrayal of detective Benoit Blanc in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series. His most recent film, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, was unveiled in 2022, with the next installment, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, scheduled for release towards the end of this year.
With excitement mounting for Narnia’s upcoming release, enthusiasts can’t wait to discover how Gerwig plans to breathe life into Lewis’ magical realm, and whether Craig will be instrumental in shaping the new film version.
