Netflix has unveiled the first poster for Greta Gerwig\u2019s Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew on social media, setting up the first look trailer that\u2019s confrimed to drop tomorrow, October 13th, and expected at 2 PM ET (7 PM BST).<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a busy few weeks for Narnia fans, and this is the first major piece of marketing to come directly from Netflix since Empire\u2019s world-exclusive run of reveals last month.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s on the new poster?<\/p>\n
The poster is dominated by a huge silhouette of Aslan in profile, his mane trailing off into the stars. His shadow fills almost the entire frame, with the cosmos itself appearing to sit inside the Great Lion, a clever nod to the story\u2019s central moment, where Aslan sings Narnia into existence.<\/p>\n
At the center of the artwork, two small riders soar on a winged horse through a burst of prismatic light. Readers of the book will immediately clock this as Digory and Polly aboard Fledge (formerly Strawberry, the London cab horse), who carries the children on their journey west in the novel.<\/p>\n

Sitting above it all is a simple tagline: \u201cA Universe Begins.\u201d Below, the poster carries the same \u201cA Film by Greta Gerwig\u201d billing and Narnia wordmark from the official logo reveal, alongside \u201cOnly in Theaters February 12\u201d and an \u201cExperience it in IMAX\u201d credit, a reminder that Netflix is treating this as a full-blown theatrical event.<\/p>\n
Alongside the poster, Netflix has also uploaded new widescreen artwork to the movie\u2019s official title page. It\u2019s a horizontal take on the same imagery, with Aslan\u2019s silhouette pushed to the right of the frame and the left side opened up into a swirling, marbled nebula of blues, lilacs, and creams that look almost like paint poured into water. It\u2019s a far cry from the grounded, earthy look of the Walden Media\/Disney trilogy and fits squarely into the cosmic, \u201ccreation of the world\u201d angle Gerwig has been talking up.<\/p>\n

The poster follows a multi-day Empire exclusive in September that gave us our first real look at the film (we\u2019ve covered the biggest hints and news from that here<\/a>). Empire\u2019s world-exclusive first look also officially confirmed one of the most hotly debated casting rumors in recent Netflix history: Meryl Streep will indeed be voicing Aslan. As we reported at the time, Aslan\u2019s new look is heavily inspired by none other than David Bowie, with this iteration of Aslan featuring heterochromia and distinctive red facial stripes as a direct homage to the singer.\u00a0<\/p>\n Empire also produced an exclusive subscriber cover showing Aslan creating Narnia itself, from concept artist Jaime Jones. The following day brought first-look images of the film\u2019s two central villains: Daniel Craig as the scheming Uncle Andrew Ketterley and Emma Mackey as the sorceress Jadis. Craig\u2019s disheveled magician is surrounded by glowing beakers and light-bending apparatus in his cluttered study, while Mackey\u2019s Jadis wears a glam-rock-inspired costume built around shimmering, armor-like fabric.<\/p>\n The full magazine issue was packed with even more. Gerwig described her take on the story as a rock opera, nodding to David Bowie and The Who, and the film moves the timeline of The Magician\u2019s Nephew to the 1950s rather than the book\u2019s 1900 setting. Gerwig also gave Uncle Andrew a memorable description, calling him \u201cthe stupidest magician in the world who actually made magic.\u201d And in a fun aside, Streep recorded her brief vocal cameo in Project Hail Mary in between sessions for her role as Aslan.\u00a0<\/p>\n For a full rundown of who\u2019s who, check out our Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew cast list and character breakdowns<\/a>.
