Greta Gerwig is set to reboot The Chronicles of Narnia for Netflix, bringing a modern appeal to the classic novels. Gerwig's success with Little Women proves she can balance faithful retelling with modern storytelling. The cozy cottage aesthetic of Narnia will be faithfully captured by Gerwig, embracing the world of C.S. Lewis.
Greta Gerwig may not seem like the obvious choice for The Chronicles of Narnia franchise, but one movie is proof that she's exactly what the fantasy saga needs.

Shortly after, it was announced that she'd be rebooting The Chronicles of Narnia franchise for Netflix, following Disney's attempts to build a movie saga out of the classic book series in the 2000s.
