Meryl Streep is in talks for an exciting new role in Greta Gerwig and Netlfix’s Chronicles of Narnia films!
According to reports, she’s being eyed for the role of Aslan the Great Lion, who has traditionally been a male character in the C.S. Lewis cannon. The character is often seen as an allegory for Jesus in the books, and is “Narnia’s guardian and a guide for the human children.”
Deadline is reporting that an offer has not been made at this time.
It was reported that the Barbie writer and director had been tapped to write and direct at least two movies for Netflix based on the C.S. Lewis novels.
If you didn’t know, it was announced back in 2018 that the streaming service had picked up the rights to all seven books, for films and series.
