The belovedNarniabooks written by C.S.
Netflix has not announced any of the casting choices forGreta Gerwig’s firstNarniamovie.
It now seems that a different actor will play the role of the iconic antagonist.
Emma Mackey played Phyicist Barbie in the 2023 movie.
Prior to Mackey’s casting being reported,Gerwig was already continuing this trendwithNarnia’s casting of Meryl Streep.
Gerwig and Streep first worked together inLittle Women, where the Academy Award-winning actor played Aunt March.
An actor of Ronan’s caliber has the potential to make Mrs. Pevensie a more fleshed-out character.
Ronan would have been a good choice to play the White Witch.
Since this role is going to Mackey instead,Ronan’sChronicles of Narniacharactercould instead be Mrs. Pevensie.
There are even parallels between Mrs. Pevensie and Ronan’s recent and the Apple TV+ movieBlitz.
Regardless of their roles,it would bemost welcome to see Ronan and Chalamet in Gerwig’sChronicles of Narniamovies.
