Saoirse Ronan is rumored to have joined the cast of Greta Gerwig's The Chronicles of Narnia film from Netflix.

According to the report, Ronan’s role in Narnia will be a supporting one. Filming has yet to begin, and no official cast details have been revealed so far.

Ronan has starred in two of Gerwig’s previous movies: Lady Bird (2017) and Little Women (2019).

After the $1 billion-grossing Barbie movie, Gerwig signed a deal with Netflix to write and direct at least two films based on C. S. Lewis‘ The Chronicles of Narnia. Gerwig will direct from a screenplay written by Matthew Aldrich and Lewis.

Back in November last year, Netflix executive Scott Stuber surprisingly revealed the plan was to take the arc of the entire seven-book series and adapt it for the screen with the most famous title "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" likely to be front and center.

Netflix took over the franchise in 2018 when it announced plans to team up with The C.S. Lewis Company in a multi-year deal to produce series and movies based on the books that have sold more than 100 million copies.
