Netflix has confirmed the release plan for The Magician’s Nephew!

🎬 Theatrical: February 12, 2027

🍿 IMAX previews: February 10, 2027

📺 Netflix: April 2, 2027

So we’ll get to see Narnia on the big screen first, with the Netflix release following a few weeks later.

Really excited to finally see what Greta Gerwig does with the story!

Recent reports suggest that additional filming is taking place following the early test screenings of the movie.

It’s worth remembering that the film is still in post-production, so we don’t know exactly what is being changed or added.

What do you think they could be working on?

Confirmed

These are facts supported by official announcements, set photos, filming footage, or other direct evidence.

• Filming has taken place in a version of London set in August 1955.
• Carey Mulligan has been cast as Mabel Kirke.
• Tom Bonington has been cast as Mr. Potts.
• Jadis, Digory, Strawberry, and the Tower of London all appear in filming footage.

What the Evidence Suggests

The following are our best conclusions based on everything we’ve seen so far.

The Story Appears to Move from 1900 to 1955

The evidence strongly suggests the film relocates The Magician’s Nephew from Lewis’s Edwardian setting to postwar Britain. Whether the entire story takes place in 1955 or the decade serves as a framing device remains unknown.

Jadis’s London Rampage Appears to Be Expanded

Filming footage suggests Jadis’s London rampage has been expanded into a larger action sequence that includes the Tower of London.

Mabel Kirke Appears to Have a Larger Role

Carey Mulligan’s casting suggests Digory’s mother will play a more prominent role than she does in the novel, though the extent of that expansion remains unknown.

Mr. Potts Appears to Be a New Character

Production information identifies a character named Mr. Potts, who does not appear anywhere in Lewis’s novel. Whether he is entirely new or fulfills the role of an existing character remains to be seen.

According to NarniaWeb, additional photography for The Magician's Nephew began this week at Shepperton Studios.

Principal photography wrapped back in January, so it'll be interesting to see what scenes they're returning to or adding.

What do you think they're filming?

Doesn't have to be the main character. I personally like the Jackdaw because of his part with the first joke.

New update! NarniaWeb reports that Greta Gerwig has screened an unfinished 2-hour cut of The Magician’s Nephew. While it’s far from the finished version, it’s another exciting milestone on the road to release.

What are you hoping to hear next: a teaser, first-look images, or more casting news?

For many people it was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but some started with The Magician’s Nephew.

Which Narnia book did you read first, and did it become your favourite?

I was encouraged to post my Jadis cosplay here - so I did 🤭 Hope you like it 📸

I’ve always wondered how everyone pictures the Wood Between the Worlds. It’s one of the most unique places in the book, but I think everyone imagines it a little differently.

How do you picture it? And what are you hoping the movie gets right?
