Narnia Reboot: Should Greta Gerwig Follow the Book Order?

Should Greta Gerwig Reboot The Narnia Movies in Order?

So, Greta Gerwig is taking on the Chronicles of Narnia. You've probably seen her work with Movies like "Little Women" - but this is something completely different! Fans have a few ideas about what she should do with these classic C.S. Lewis stories.

Should Greta Gerwig Reboot "The Chronicles of Narnia" In Chronological Order?

  • Some Narnia fans want to see her follow C.S. Lewis's vision. The way he wrote the books, starting with The Magician's Nephew as the prequel to The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe - which came out first!
  • But there's a hitch - not everyone knows The Magician's Nephew! It doesn't have the Pevensies, the famous siblings we all love.

How Could a Narnia Movie Reboot Start?

  • Remember, Disney tried to do all the Narnia stories, but they only finished the first three - the last was Prince Caspian! It's up to Greta to make those four last ones happen.
  • It could make sense to start with The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. It's totally an iconic tale - a great place for new viewers to jump in! Plus, it would give the whole thing a boost since everyone's already seen that Disney Narnia version of it!
  • What's super cool? Greta Gerwig could make the second movie be about The Magician's Nephew - we haven't seen a screen version yet! So, there's an even greater opportunity to do a brand new adaptation and show everyone the real beginning of Narnia! It's got the cool stuff about the Narnia history, worldbuilding, and how the Wardrobe, the Evil Queen, and all those important parts of Narnia mythology came to be.

Is There a Chance For a Netflix Narnia Series?

This new series could be a game-changer, and even Netflix said they were super into it! Fans are still wondering exactly when it will come out though - hopefully sooner than we expect, right? Maybe we can see some trailers. or find out more about the amazing cast!

What About the Rest of the Narnia Book Series?

Even if those two Narnia films are going to be great, the real excitement is what happens after. Will they keep going with the rest of those Narnia book series! They've still got to adapt "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader", "The Horse and His Boy", and those final two, The Silver Chair and The Last Battle, to fill the whole Narnia movie series.

Now, the wait for the Narnia films is super exciting. I can't wait to find out about how Greta will tell these timeless stories. There is a reason the Narnia fandom is so large. And who knows - maybe we'll be getting an Narnia video game, an Narnia theme park, or some really cool Narnia merchandise to go along with all this excitement!
