Greta Gerwig’s first trailer for *Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew* features Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven,” marking the first time the band has licensed the song. The filmmakers have not just used the track incidentally; the music is a headline element of the trailer’s release.
Multiple outlets report that Gerwig obtained the rights after personally meeting with Led Zeppelin members Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. They gave her their blessing to use the track in the trailer, enabling the licensing that had not previously happened.
While the outlets focus on how the permission was granted—through direct meetings and approval—the shared point across coverage is that “Stairway to Heaven” is used in the *Narnia* marketing rollout with Led Zeppelin’s authorization, and it is framed as a notable first for the band’s licensing history.
