Greta Gerwig&#x27;s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew is set to premiere on the big screen.According to a report from Netflix&#x27;s Tudum, the film is scheduled for a global theatrical release on February 12, 2027. It will then stream on Netflix on April 2, 2027. Select IMAX theaters will also host early screenings starting February 10.Based on the works of C. S. Lewis, the film marks the first-ever screen adaptation of The Magician’s Nephew, the origin story of Narnia. First published in 1955, the novel serves as a foundational chapter in the beloved Chronicles of Narnia series.Greta both wrote and directed the project, which introduces newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell alongside a star-studded cast that includes Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Daniel Craig, and Meryl Streep.In a statement, the Academy Award-nominated director shared her excitement about the project and its upcoming release across both theatrical and streaming platforms.“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,” Greta remarked.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/5/3/dimples-romana-on-getting-her-first-personal-car-after-30-years-hard-work-truly-pays-off-1750">READ: &#x27;Narnia&#x27; star William Moseley, bumisita sa Pilipinas</a></div>She also reflected on her personal connection to the source material, recalling how she first encountered the book as a child. “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.&quot;She went on: “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.”Meanwhile, the C. S. Lewis Company praised Gerwig’s vision, saying it is &quot;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. We’re so excited for audiences everywhere to experience her vision — and to share the magic of Narnia with a whole new generation.”
