According to World of Reel, there’s apparent early talk that Meryl Streep will be voicing Aslan, who will be female, in Greta Gerwig’s “Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew.” Aslan in the novels is a talking lion who serves as Narnia’s guardian and mentor. Streep hasn’t appeared in a film since 2021’s “Don’t Look Up,” and that was very much a supporting role. She’s mostly been doing television on “Only Murders in the Building.” The 21-time Oscar nominee is also rumored to portray musician Joni Mitchell in Cameron’s Crowe’s much-anticipated biopic, but there’s been no update concerning that project since late last year. Gerwig’s planned ‘Narnia’ adaptations are Netflix originals, and all indications are pointing toward Gerwig tackling C.S. Lewis’ book “The Magician’s Nephew.” Gerwig’s Netflix deal is comprised of two movies she will direct. Word recently came out, via Bloomberg, that with or without Gerwig, Netflix are planning to produce eight ‘Narnia’ movies in total. Streep is the fourth performer that’s been rumored to star in ‘Narnia.’ The others have been Daniel Craig, Charli XCX, and Saoirse Ronan. The film is aiming to start production in late summer with a theatrical release on Thanksgiving Day 2026, followed by a release on Netflix in December 2026.
