Daniel Craig in Talks to Star in Netflix's "Chronicles Of Narnia"

Daniel Craig is in negotiations to join Greta Gerwig's film adaptation of the popular C.S. Lewis tales "Narnia".

Sources tell Deadline that it is unknown whether Craig will ultimately come on board, but they do add that he does hold the offer. It is also unknown who he would be playing in the movie.

Even with it being early, the studio and Gerwig are gearing up in a big way with production set to start later this year.  

In 2018, Netflix announced it would develop new series and film projects based on Narnia and brought Gerwig on board in 2020 to adapt and direct.

While it remains in the early stages, and details are scant, the movie is getting an exclusive two-week Imax global run for Thanksgiving 2026 in advance of the pic’s drop on the streamer.

This is Gerwig’s follow-up to delivering Warner Bros its highest-grossing movie ever, "Barbie" ($1.44 billion), which also scored an Oscar win for Billie Eilish and Finneas’ original song “What Was I Made For?” Charli XCX’s song “Speed Drive” also was part of the film’s soundtrack.

It’s unclear whether there would be a musical component to any Narnia contribution from the singer-actress.

If it makes, the deal would be reunion of sorts for Craig and Netflix, with Craig as super-sleuth Benoit Blanc anchoring Rian Johnson’s Knives Out franchise which has a deal at the streamer. 

The first pic in that deal was 2022’s "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery", with the next installment "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery" due out later this year.
