EXCLUSIVE: While it is super early in the dealmaking process, sources tell Deadline, Netflix and director Greta Gerwig are aiming high for their next piece of potential casting on the studio’s Chronicles of Narnia movie as Daniel Craig has an offer to join the cast. Sources stress it is very early in the process and unknown if Craig will ultimately come on board the project but do add he does hold the offer to join the cast. It is also unknown who he would be playing in the film.
Even with it being early in the dealmaking process, the studio and Gerwig are clearly gearing up the casting process in a big way as production is set to start later this year. Deadline was first to report that Charli XCX was in talks for the role of the white witch.
In 2018, Netflix announced it would develop new series and film projects based on C.S. Lewis’ beloved The Chronicles of Narnia series and brought Gerwig on board in 2020 to adapt and direct. It remains in early stages, and details are scant. As previously reported, the movie is getting an exclusive two-week Imax global run for Thanksgiving 2026 in advance of the pic’s drop on the streamer.
