Actress Carey Mulligan recently shared how much she enjoyed working on the upcoming fantasy movie Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew. In a new interview with Elle, the BAFTA-winning star spoke warmly about collaborating with director Greta Gerwig.
Mulligan said the experience of filming the movie was incredible and praised Gerwig’s leadership on set. She explained that watching Gerwig direct such a large project was inspiring. According to Mulligan, the director remained calm and positive during the entire production, even though the film is a very big and complex project.
The actress said she loved working with Gerwig so much that she hopes to collaborate with her again in the future. Mulligan described the director as someone who brings joy and energy to the set, which made the whole crew feel happy and excited about their work.
The film is based on the famous fantasy book series The Chronicles of Narnia, written by C. S. Lewis. The story of “The Magician’s Nephew” explores the magical beginning of the Narnia world. Fans of the books are excited to see how the story will be brought to life on the big screen.
Mulligan was one of the first actors announced for the project. She has previously said that working with Greta Gerwig felt like a “pinch-me moment,” meaning it felt almost unbelievable to her.
Filming for the movie finished at the end of January 2026. After months of production, the team is now preparing the film for its release.
The movie is expected to arrive in IMAX theaters during Thanksgiving, giving fans the chance to experience the fantasy adventure on the big screen first. Later, the film will also be available to stream on Netflix on Christmas Day.
With a talented cast, a beloved story, and Greta Gerwig directing, many fans are already looking forward to seeing this new chapter of Narnia.
