- Greta Gerwig will write and direct “Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew,” slated for a global theatrical opening on Feb 12 2027 with IMAX previews on Feb 10.
- IMAX will host exclusive sneak‑preview screenings starting Feb 10, positioning the film as a premium‑format event before its Netflix debut on Apr 2 2027.
- Mark Ronson returns as composer, joining a cast that includes Carey Mulligan, Daniel Craig, Meryl Streep, and Emma Mackey, underscoring the film’s blockbuster ambitions.
