Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew Trailer and Poster Debut
Netflix has unveiled the official trailer and teaser poster for Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, which will be released in IMAX and globally in theaters on February 12, 2027, and on Netflix on April 2, 2027. IMAX sneak previews will begin on February 10, 2027.
Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Greta Gerwig brings C. S. Lewis’ beloved story The Magician’s Nephew to the screen for the first time in a sweeping adventure that invites dreamers of all ages to experience the creation of Narnia.
Written for the screen and directed by Gerwig, the origin story for Narnia is the first-ever adaptation of C. S. Lewis’s The Magician’s Nephew, which was published on May 2, 1955, and pairs newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell with an all-star cast that includes Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Daniel Craig, and Meryl Streep.
Lewis’s book series captured Gerwig’s imagination from a very young age, and she’s beyond thrilled to bring her singular vision to this beloved world. “Working with Netflix to bring this film to life has been extraordinary, and IMAX continues to be an incredible partner. I cannot wait for people to see the film in theaters on February 12 and on Netflix on April 2,” said Greta Gerwig (Barbie).
She added, “I was a child when I first read The Magician’s Nephew, and I fell in love with the gorgeously improbable but completely brilliant concept of a cosmic lion singing the world of Narnia to life. I didn’t know that I would grow up to make films, but a universe built out of music is an idea that always lived in my heart.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to be asked to imagine it into being. Because of C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, I believed in magic and hidden worlds and adventure. I believed that anywhere could be enchanted and that anyone could be swept up into an epic. That wonder and awe was available to everyone, even ordinary people like me…It transformed me.”
Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew is produced by Mark Gordon, Amy Pascal, Vincent Sieber Smith, and Gerwig, and executive produced by Patricia Whitcher and Douglas Gresham and Melvin Adams for the C. S. Lewis Estate. The film is co-produced by Christine Crais.
“It’s incredibly moving to see how deeply Greta Gerwig has embraced C. S. Lewis’s world, and infused Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew with joy, heart, and genuine love for the story,” said the C. S. Lewis Company. “We’re so excited for audiences everywhere to experience her vision —and to share the magic of Narnia with a whole new generation.”
