Filming is officially underway in London for Greta Gerwig’s new The Chronicles of Narnia movie, adapted from C.S. Lewis’s beloved fantasy novels.
Nearly seven years ago, Netflix acquired the film and TV rights to the Narnia series, and anticipation has only grown during the long wait.
Locations around Bank Station and Royal Exchange have been transformed into 1950s England for the shoot, marking a shift from the story’s original Victorian-era setting. Gerwig’s version is set in 1955, with market stalls, Northfield Club and Steapleton Empire posters, and boxing tournament flyers reinforcing the new timeline, a change expected to influence future films in the series.
Producer Amy Pascal has also stated that Greta Gerwig’s interpretation will differ from the classic story. The film is adapted from the sixth book in the series, The Magician’s Nephew.
The cast includes Emma Mackey, Daniel Craig, and Meryl Streep, and filming is expected to be completed in early 2026.
