Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew has unveiled its first official poster. The reveal offers fans an early glimpse of the latest adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ beloved fantasy world.
According to Deadline, the film’s first trailer is scheduled to arrive the following day. The project adds another major fantasy title to Gerwig’s filmography. She previously directed Barbie and Little Women.
The movie adapts Lewis’ 1955 novel. The story explores Narnia’s origins and reveals how the magical world came into existence.
First poster previews Narnia’s return
The new poster introduces the film’s visual style before the trailer arrives. Fans can now get their first look at the project’s promotional campaign.
Netflix has yet to reveal every detail of the adaptation through the poster alone. However, the upcoming trailer should offer a closer look at the story, characters and setting.
The Magician’s Nephew takes place before the events of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It explores the origins of Narnia and the events that lead to the creation of its enchanted world.
This storyline gives Gerwig a chance to explore a different part of Lewis’ fantasy universe. It could also introduce the classic story to a new generation of viewers.
Greta Gerwig tackles a fantasy classic
Gerwig has earned recognition for her distinctive directing style. Her credits include Lady Bird, Little Women and Barbie. The latter became a global box-office hit in 2023.
Her involvement has attracted attention from movie fans. Many will want to see how she approaches one of fantasy literature’s most recognizable worlds.
Lewis’ novels have inspired several screen adaptations over the years. Previous films brought The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader to cinemas.
The new adaptation takes a different approach by exploring events that occurred before those stories. As a result, it offers audiences another way to discover the world of Narnia.
When will Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew be released?
Deadline’s announcement lists February 12, 2026, for the theatrical release, followed by a Netflix debut on April 2. However, both dates fall before October 2026, so readers should verify the schedule before publication.
The upcoming trailer should provide more information about Gerwig’s interpretation of the classic novel. It may also offer a closer look at the cast, setting and visual effects.
For now, the first poster marks an important step in the film’s promotional campaign. The trailer should give fans a better sense of what to expect from this new journey into Narnia.
