The highly awaited Narnia reboot from Barbie director Greta Gerwig is finally moving forward, and British actress Carey Mulligan has now officially joined the cast.
This latest update marks a major step in Netflix’s plan to bring the Narnia world back to life on both the big screen and streaming.
According to THR, the Narnia reboot will not begin with the familiar The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but instead with The Magician’s Nephew, a prequel to the better-known story.
Carey Mulligan is set to play Digory’s mother, who is seriously ill in the story. It’s a deeply emotional role that fits Mulligan’s strong talent for drama.
