Andor could have solely lasted for twenty-four episodes throughout two seasons, however it’s already greater than cemented itself as one of the crucial critically-acclaimed Star Wars initiatives. I’m among the many group that was fairly impressed by the Disney+ subscription-exclusive collection, and one in all my favourite characters was ISB supervisor Deedra Meero, performed by Denise Gough. Properly, Gough revealed that she’s signed on to star in Greta Gerwig’s Narnia film, and I’m cracking up over the way in which she described her character.
Slightly than reboot this movie collection with one other movie adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Barbie director is as a substitute writing and helming Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew. Whereas The Magician’s Nephew was the sixth revealed novel in creator C.S. Lewis’ fantasy saga, it’s chronologically the primary installment. Gough introduced up her invovelemt within the forthcoming Netflix subscription-exclusive on the finish of an interview on We’re Not Kidding with Mehdi & Associates, saying:
I’m doing a movie with Greta Gerwig known as Narnia… I’m enjoying somebody imply in that, however it’s high quality, it’s to kids, it’s okay.
Sadly, Narnia is one in all my fandom blind spots, so I’m undecided whom Denise Gough is referring to since Emma Mackey has already been solid as Jadis, the White Witch. Nonetheless, it’s hilarious that each one she has to say about her character is that she’s imply to kids, which is completely acceptable in a narrative like this. After watching her intimidate Rebels and fellow Imperials alike in Andor as Deedra Meero, I look ahead to seeing how Gough does the identical to those youngsters. I’m certain they’ve it coming… proper?
Like its supply materials, Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew will characteristic Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer as its essential protagonists, respectively performed within the film by David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell. Though the ebook takes place 40 years forward of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe on Earth, it’s set 1,000 years beforehand in Narnia and chronicles the formation of this fantastical world. The Magician Nephew was imagined to be the fourth entry within the earlier Narnia movie collection, following The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Daybreak Treader, however Walden Media’s contract with the C.S. Lewis property expired earlier than that might occur.
Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew’s solid additionally contains Carey Mulligan as Mabel Kirke, Meryl Streep as Aslan, Daniel Craig as Uncle Andrew and Tom Bonington as Mr. Potts.
