Lewis novels back in October 2018.<\/p>\n<p>This past weekend marked the first days of filming in and around Bank Station and The Royal Exchange in London for Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew, the highly anticipated Greta Gerwig film that\u2019s set for a late 2026 release in theaters and on Netflix. Lavish sets have been built to recreate post-war Britain in the 1950s, with crowds of extras spotted on location alongside Gerwig herself. The new movie adapts The Magician\u2019s Nephew, following two youngsters who unleash the evil White Witch onto the streets of London.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Numerous set photos have already surfaced online, backing up recent reporting from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.narniaweb.com\/2025\/08\/magicians-nephew-adaptation-to-shoot-at-manchesters-victoria-baths-scene-to-take-place-in-the-1950s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NarniaWeb<\/a> suggesting the story is being shifted to the 1950s, a notable departure from the book\u2019s original late 19th-century Victorian-era setting. One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNMBuQsMwzj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram user<\/a> who photographed a flower stall and other props on set claimed the film is set in 1955. Curious onlookers who asked crew members about the shoot were told only that it was for a Netflix movie.<\/p>\n<p>The time shift could have big implications for future adaptations. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the story is anchored in WWII, and if a similar shift is applied, that could push the events of LWW into the early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Imax Boss Teases Netflix\u2019S Narnia Movie: \u201cAnybody Who Isn\u2019t A Part Of It Is Going To Miss Out\u201d\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-has-transparency=\"false\" data-dominant-color=\"563e25\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/netflix-narnia-movie-new-teases.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Fresh images from the weekend also show Greta Gerwig on set, as well as two young, as-yet-unidentified actors believed to be playing Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer following an extensive casting search.<\/p>\n<p>To date, the only cast names attached thus far include Emma Mackey as The White Witch, Daniel Craig (as we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whats-on-netflix.com\/news\/daniel-craig-eyed-to-join-greta-gerwigs-netflix-narnia-movie\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">first reported<\/a>) as Uncle Andrew, Carey Mulligan in negotiations for a role, and Meryl Streep expected in the role of Aslan.
