Netflix has unveiled the first official poster for Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, and the wait for a real look at Greta Gerwig’s film is almost over. The streamer shared the one-sheet on Monday and confirmed the first trailer arrives tomorrow.
The poster is built around a single striking idea. Aslan fills the frame as a vast lion silhouette formed out of a starfield, and at its center Fledge, the winged horse, carries Digory and Polly toward a burst of light on the end of a rainbow streak. The tagline reads “A Universe Begins,” and the billing keeps the focus on the filmmaker: “A Film by Greta Gerwig,” in theaters February 12, presented in IMAX.
The film is the first screen adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s prequel, the sixth Narnia book published but the first in the story’s own timeline. It follows Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer, two London children who use magical rings to reach the Wood Between the Worlds, accidentally wake the exiled Queen Jadis in the dying world of Charn, and arrive in an empty void just in time to watch Aslan sing Narnia into existence. TDN stepped into the Wood Between the Worlds with the film’s official stills last month.
Newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell lead the film as Digory and Polly. Emma Mackey plays Jadis, the future White Witch, a performance she has described as “all chaos and bad plans.” Meryl Streep voices Aslan, first glimpsed on Empire’s September cover, with Daniel Craig as the would-be magician Uncle Andrew and Carey Mulligan as Digory’s mother, Mabel.
As TDN reported in the spring, the film opens in theaters worldwide on Friday, February 12, 2027, with IMAX previews starting February 10, the widest theatrical rollout in Netflix’s history. It then arrives on Netflix on April 2, after a seven-week theatrical window. Tomorrow’s trailer is the next step.
