A new press release<\/a> from Netflix has officially confirmed the main cast members for Greta Gerwig\u2019s upcoming adaptation of \u2018The Magician\u2019s Nephew\u2019, including the surprise addition of Northern Irish and Academy Award-nominated actor Ciar\u00e1n Hinds, in an as-yet undisclosed role.<\/p>\n

Ciar\u00e1n Hinds will be well known to fans of the fantasy genre, having played Mance Rayder in Game of Thrones, Dumbledore\u2019s brother in the final Harry Potter film, and a small role in the Lord of the Rings television spin-off The Rings of Power.<\/p>\n

Hind\u2019s role in the film has not been announced. One possibility, we would speculate, is an older Professor Kirke, an aged-up version of the young Digory, played by fellow Belfast native David McKenna.<\/p>\n

Also confirmed in the new press release are Kobna Holdbrook Smith<\/a> and Susan Wokoma<\/a>, who NarniaWeb first reported on earlier this year. We believe them to be playing Frank and Helen, respectively.<\/p>\n
