Greta Gerwig is directing a film adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s *The Magician’s Nephew*, the origin story of *The Chronicles of Narnia*. It is due in cinemas before arriving on Netflix, with the shift to a wide theatrical release giving the fantasy film a major cinema window.

Newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell play Digory and Polly, alongside Daniel Craig, Carey Mulligan, Emma Mackey and Meryl Streep, who voices Aslan. Its trailer features Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and drew more than 481.3 million views in its first week.
