Bad news: Greta Gerwig\u2019s Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew\u00a0isn\u2019t coming out this year. Good news? When it does come out, it\u2019ll get the full theatrical treatment.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Netflix announced the film will hit theaters on February 12, 2027<\/a>. One big question around Narnia has been how long its previously announced big-screen run<\/a> was going to be. Frankenstein<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Wake Up Dead Man\u00a0had limited runs, but the streamer\u2019s been wanting to get more chummy with cinemas. With this deal, audiences get nearly two months to watch Narnia theatrically before it comes home on April 2.<\/p>\n Beyond the date, Netflix also confirmed the main cast<\/a> for Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew. Previously announced stars Emma Mackey<\/a> and Meryl Streep<\/a> are joined by David McKenna, Carey Mulligan, Ciar\u00e1n Hinds, Daniel Craig, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Denise Gough, and Susan Wokoma. Adapting the sixth book of the same name, the film is a prequel to the\u00a0Narnia\u00a0story that includes the world\u2019s creation and early history.<\/p>\n \u201cWorking with Netflix to bring this film to life has been extraordinary and IMAX continues to be an incredible partner,\u201d said Gerwig. \u201cI was a child when I first read\u00a0The Magician\u2019s Nephew, and fell in love with the gorgeously improbable but completely brilliant concept of a cosmic lion singing the world of Narnia to life. A universe built out of music is an idea that always lived in my heart, and it\u2019s the honor of a lifetime to be asked to imagine it into being.\u201d<\/p>\n We\u2019ll have more on\u00a0Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew\u00a0as news emerges ahead of its release in both IMAX and regular theaters February 12, 2027.<\/p>\n Want more io9 news?
