I gotta be honest, guys. I don't care all that much about Meryl being involved in Greta Gerwig's upcoming Chronicles of Narnia movie(s) for Netflix. Meryl's voice work is wonderful, but it's not all that exciting to me. Alas, it appears to be the only 'close-to' confirmation of anything she's apparently attached to doing, so I figured I should comment on bigger updates for the production. And it at least shows that she's still interested in still working, to some degree.
With that in mind, multiple sources are reporting that Emma Mackey (Sex Education, Emily, Barbie) is rumored to have landed the role as the White Witch. Margaret Qualley was mentioned as vying for the role as well. From the article:
White Witch, whose name is Jadis, is the primary antagonist of not just Magician’s Nephew but also the best known of all the Narnia books, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. She is the one who plunged Narnia into an endless winter (where it never ever gets to Christmas) and turns her enemies into statues.
Narnia is expected to have a two-week release in Imax theaters late 2026.
If the voice work in Narnia comes out in 2026 along with Devil Wears Prada 2 on the big screen and The Corrections streaming than I think it could be a great year altogether?- Jamie
ReplyDeleteI agree it would potentially be a huge year! I'm just sort of losing confidence in either DWP2 or Corrections happening.
DeleteAmen!
DeleteIf you'd watched Jimmy Kimmel, you would have seen the interview with the producer of OMITB. He hinted he wants Meryl back in S5 so I wouldn't be surprised if she returns.
ReplyDeleteWell of course they want her back. She'll probably at least have a cameo (yawn), but at this stage I feel it's unlikely that Loretta will have anything interesting to do as a character. I'm totally fine with Meryl moving on from that show.
DeleteLoretta could still be involved in investigating in some capacity...
DeleteDo you mean Dav'ine? She's not a producer she plays the detective, and hinted at Meryl being back and possibly having scenes with her. Also, in an article where the creator of the show is interviewed, he mentioned that Meryl agrees Loretta is now a part of the show.
DeleteJimmy hasn't interviewed a producer of the show
DeleteShe mentioned the scene where she arrests Loretta so I'm confused how you concluded she's a producer?
