Netflix unveils the first official look at Aslan in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia movie, *The Magician’s Nephew*. Multiple outlets report that the character will be voiced by Meryl Streep, marking her involvement in the franchise.
The announcements connect Gerwig—best known for *Barbie*—to the film’s direction and production, positioning *The Magician’s Nephew* as the next major Narnia entry. Coverage describes the Aslan reveal as an image-first update shared via outlets that cite reporting from *Empire* magazine. While *The Magician’s Nephew* is presented as a Netflix release, different sources focus mainly on the casting highlight (Streep as Aslan) and the novelty of the franchise’s next creative team.
Overall, the reporting aligns on the core facts: Aslan is featured for the first time through official promotional material, Meryl Streep is credited as the voice, and Greta Gerwig is the film’s filmmaker, with a release expected next year.
