\n\tOscar winner Meryl Streep<\/a> is in talks to play Aslan the Great Lion in Greta Gerwig<\/a> and Netlfix\u2019s Narnia<\/a> movie, we have confirmed with sources.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe understand that they\u2019re not quite at the offer stage yet, however. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the novels, Aslan is a talking lion who serves as Narnia\u2019s guardian and a guide for the human children. Generally portrayed as a male, Aslan was created as an allegory for Jesus by author C.S. Lewis.<\/p>\n

\n\tNexus Point News was first with the Streep talks and also reported that the film will adapt the sixth novel in the Narnia series, The Magician\u2019s Nephew<\/em>, which chronologically takes place first in the series. The novel tells the origin of Narnia and is centered on Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer, who discover the magical world through Digory\u2019s uncle\u2019s magic. The site reports that Aslan will be female in the Gerwig adaptation. We haven\u2019t had those plot details confirmed yet.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs we previously revealed, Charli XCX is in talks<\/a>\u00a0for the role of the white witch and Daniel Craig is also being courted for the project, which is aiming to shoot this year. Nexus Point News reports that Craig is being eyed for the role of Digory\u2019s uncle.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2018, Netflix<\/a> said it would develop new series and film projects based on Lewis\u2019 beloved\u00a0The Chronicles of Narnia<\/em>\u00a0series and brought Gerwig on board in 2020 to adapt and direct the first movie. As previously reported, the movie is getting an\u00a0exclusive two-week Imax\u00a0global run<\/a>\u00a0for Thanksgiving 2026 in advance of the pic\u2019s drop on the streamer.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe project is Gerwig\u2019s follow-up to delivering Warner Bros\u00a0its highest-grossing movie ever<\/a>,\u00a0Barbie\u00a0<\/em>($1.44 billion).<\/p>\n

\n\tThree-time Oscar winner Streep is coming off hit series Only Murders in the Building<\/em> but hasn\u2019t starred in a movie since 2021\u2019s Don\u2019t Look Up<\/em>. We reported last fall of her attachment to a series version of hit novel The Corrections<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and there was reporting in 2024 that she would return to make The Devil Wears Prada<\/em> sequel this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix and Streep\u2019s reps declined comment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
