Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ Delayed to 2027

You’re going to have to wait a bit longer to visit “Narnia.”

The new adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ “The Magician’s Nephew,” written and directed by Oscar nominee Greta Gerwig, was originally meant to debut in Imax theaters this Thanksgiving, followed by a global rollout on Netflix for Christmas. Now, the movie will be released in Imax and “wide globally in theaters” (according to the official release) on Feb. 12, 2027, before debuting on Netflix on April 2, 2027. Sneak previews on Imax screens will begin on Feb. 10, 2027.

“Narnia” pairs newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell with an all-star cast that includes Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Daniel Craig and Meryl Streep. The original novel was published on May 2, 1955, which means it turns 71 tomorrow.

“Working with Netflix to bring this film to life has been extraordinary and Imax continues to be an incredible partner. I cannot wait for people to see the film in theaters on February 12 and on Netflix on April 2,” Gerwig said in a statement.
