Let’s be honest — when Greta Gerwig’s name is attached to anything, people pay attention. But the *Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew* cast reveal? That’s on a whole different level. From James Bond to a three-time Oscar winner, this film is stacking legends like it’s building a fantasy universe from scratch — because it literally is.

### Narnia : Full Cast at a Glance

Unlike previous *Narnia* adaptations that began with *The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe*, Greta Gerwig’s film adapts *The Magician’s Nephew* — the chronological origin story of Narnia — marking the first time this book has ever been brought to the big screen.

### The Standout Castings You Need to Know

**Meryl Streep as Aslan** is already the most talked-about choice. While Netflix has not yet officially confirmed her role, all signs point to her voicing the divine lion-ruler of Narnia, Aslan — a character previously voiced by Liam Neeson. Big shoes, no doubt.

**Daniel Craig** steps into the eccentric world of magic as Uncle Andrew Ketterley — the bumbling magician who creates the rings that allow the children to travel between worlds, though he’s too cowardly to use them himself.

**Emma Mackey** takes on the daunting task of following Tilda Swinton’s iconic White Witch. Her version of Jadis serves as a full origin story — from self-proclaimed Queen of the desolate world of Charn to the tyrannical ruler of Narnia.

The two young leads are equally impressive. David McKenna, who was nominated for a Gotham TV Award for his role as Piggy in the BBC’s *Lord of the Flies*, plays Digory Kirke — the curious, reckless boy at the heart of it all. Beatrice Campbell, fresh from Wes Anderson’s world, brings the sensible, grounding energy of Polly Plummer.
