Netflix once again through Empire magazine, has released a previously unseen image from Narnia: The Magician's Nephew, the new adaptation of C.S. Lewis 's books directed by Greta Gerwig.

After the first glimpse of Aslan, we now have a photo showing Daniel Craig (007) as Andrew Ketterley, uncle of the protagonist Gregory and one of the main antagonists of the story.

According to Gerwig, the film will have a visual style inspired by a "rock opera" in the style of David Bowie. That's why we see this colorful, eighties style in the images.

Gerwig's film will adapt The Magician's Nephew, a book that narrates the events of the Narnia universe before Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy (the protagonists of the original film trilogy) were even born.

The plot follows the boy Gregory (newcomer David McKenna) and his neighbor Polly (Beatrice Campbell) as they enter a magical forest that leads to other worlds.

The cast of the production also includes Emma Mackey (Sex Education) as Jadis, the White Witch – a role played by Tilda Swinton in the previous films –, Carey Mulligan (Maestro), Denise Gough (Andor), and Daniel Craig (007). The film's theatrical release will also be sponsored by IMAX, meaning that giant screen theaters will have priority when showing Gerwig's film.

Narnia: The Magician's Nephew premieres on Netflix on April 2, 2027, but will spend almost two months in theaters beforehand.
