Daniel Craig reportedly offered role in Greta Gerwig's Chronicles of Narnia
'James Bond' icon Daniel Craig is has reportedly been handed an offer for Greta Gerwig's new Netflix film.
Daniel Craig has reportedly been offered a role in Greta Gerwig's 'Chronicles of Narnia' film.
The former James Bond star has been linked to the 'Barbie' directors upcoming adaptation of C.S. Lewis' iconic fantasy novels for Netflix.
According to Deadline, conversations are at a "super early" stage, but sources noted Craig has been given an offer to join the cast.
It's unknown which character he would be playing, while the insiders pointed out that it's yet to be seen if he'll actually sign on the dotted line.
The latest casting news comes after reports from the same outlet that singer Charli XCX, 32, is being lined up for a major role.
Her character has not been confirmed, but Deadline suggested it could be that of Jadis the White Witch - previously played by Tilda Swinton in 2005’s ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ and its two sequels.
In 2018, Netflix announced it would be making a new movie adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ fantasy series of the same name, and signed Gerwig to direct the project two years later.
While updates on the ‘Narnia’ flick have been slow since then, it was recently reported that Gerwig had successfully convinced the streaming giant to give her film an extended run on IMAX screens globally on Thanksgiving Day 2026 (26.11.26) ahead of its release to Netflix on Christmas Day (25.12.26).
