Emma Mackey appears to confirm Meryl Streep casting in Greta Gerwig’s Narnia film

Emma Mackey hints Meryl Streep will join Greta Gerwig’s Narnia, marking a major casting update for Netflix

Emma Mackey has seemingly confirmed that Meryl Streep is part of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia adaptation, offering the strongest indication yet of the Oscar winner’s involvement.

In a recent interview with Italian publication D – La Repubblica, Mackey—who is set to portray Jadis—shared limited details about the highly anticipated project. However, she casually revealed that she will be working alongside Daniel Craig, Carey Mulligan, and Meryl Streep, effectively confirming a star-studded cast for the film.

The project, backed by Netflix, is expected to adapt The Magician’s Nephew, a prequel in C. S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia series. While Mackey did not specify Streep’s role, earlier reports suggested she was in talks to voice or portray Aslan, the iconic lion central to the story. This latest update strengthens speculation, although no official confirmation has been issued regarding her character.

Development on the film has remained largely under wraps since initial casting discussions surfaced nearly a year ago. Netflix has yet to publicly comment on Streep’s involvement or provide further details about the production timeline.

Notably, Streep previously collaborated with Gerwig on the critically acclaimed 2019 film Little Women, making this potential reunion a significant highlight for fans. With 21 Academy Award nominations, Streep remains one of the most decorated actors in film history.

As anticipation builds, Mackey’s comments offer a rare glimpse into the casting of Gerwig’s Narnia, positioning the film as one of Netflix’s most high-profile upcoming fantasy projects.
