One of the stars of Disney+ and Lucasfilm\u2019s Andor<\/a> series has been cast in Greta Gerwig<\/a>\u2019s Narnia<\/a> movie.<\/p>\n

Gerwig is adapting C. S. Lewis\u2019 The Chronicles of Narnia<\/a> series into a new movie for Netflix<\/a> that arrives next year. The film is believed to be an adaptation of The Magician\u2019s Nephew<\/a> and will star Emma Mackey and Carey Mulligan.<\/p>\n

Who has joined the cast of Greta Gerwig\u2019s Narnia movie?<\/p>\n

Appearing on the We\u2019re Not Kidding with Mehdi & Friends<\/a> podcast, Andor\u2019s Denise Gough<\/a> reveals that she\u2019ll be starring in Gerwig\u2019s Narnia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing a film with Greta Gerwig called Narnia,\u201d Gough said. \u201cI\u2019m playing someone mean in that, but it\u2019s fine, it\u2019s to children, it\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further details on Gough\u2019s role are not available at this time.<\/p>\n

In addition to playing Dedra Meero in Andor, Gough has had roles on television shows such as Titanic: Blood and Steel, Stella, Guerrilla, Under the Banner of Heaven, Who Is Erin Carter?, The Stolen Girl, and more. Her filmography includes 2010\u2019s Robin Hood, 2018\u2019s Juliet Naked, 2019\u2019s The Kid Who Would Be King, and 2025\u2019s H Is for Hawk, among others.<\/p>\n

A description of Lewis\u2019 The Magician\u2019s Nephew reads, \u201cOn a daring quest to save a life, two friends are hurled into another world, where an evil sorceress seeks to enslave them. But then the lion Aslan\u2019s song weaves itself into the fabric of a new land, a land that will be known as Narnia. And in Narnia, all things are possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original Narnia franchise has taken in nearly $1.6 billion worldwide with three feature films: 2005\u2019s\u00a0The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, 2008\u2019s\u00a0Prince Caspian,\u00a0and 2010\u2019s The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The original starred William Mosely, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley, Liam Neeson, Tilda Swinton, James McAvoy, Ben Barnes, Peter Dinklage, and Will Poulter.<\/p>\n

Greta Gerwig\u2019s Narnia movie will receive a two-week theatrical IMAX run in November 2026 before it then arrives on Netflix\u2019s streaming service in December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the stars of Disney+ and Lucasfilm\u2019s Andor series has been cast in Greta Gerwig\u2019s Narnia movie.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":163620,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[2588,74340,96,46541,6462,2839,69793,46542,392,74341,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-163619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-andor","tag-denise-gough","tag-entertainment","tag-greta-gerwig","tag-movie-news","tag-movies","tag-narnia","tag-narnia-the-magicians-nephew","tag-netflix","tag-the-chronicles-of-narnia","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
