Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew finally has its first teaser – with fans transported into a world of magic without the need for a wardrobe (at least not yet).
The first-look trailer dropped today, giving fans a glimpse at what becomes Narnia, and the high-flying adventures of best friends Polly Plummer and Digory Kirke.
The Magician's Nephew follows the pair who, after snooping around Digory’s uncle Andrew’s belongings, find a ring that allows them to travel between worlds.
Soon the pair are off on an adventure to return home, witness the creation of the magical world of Narnia, find new friends and make new foes when they disturb the evil White Witch.
Sex Education’s Emma Mackey leads the all-star cast as The White Witch, while The Stolen Girl’s Beatrice Campbell and Lord of the Flies's David McKenna will play Polly and Digory.

Based on the classic 1955 tale by C S Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew is the first story in the Chronicles of Narnia timeline, though was written as the sixth of the seven books.
The story leads into The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – the first released novel in the series.
The creation of the Narnia series has been in development since 2019, when it was announced Netflix were planning a series of movies around the fantasy book collection.
Greta Gerwig has been attached to the project since 2023.
Speaking about her love of the story, Gerwig said in an official statement: "I was a child when I first read The Magician’s Nephew, and I fell in love with the gorgeously improbable but completely brilliant concept of a cosmic lion singing the world of Narnia to life.
"I didn’t know that I would grow up to make films, but a universe built out of music is an idea that always lived in my heart. It is the honour of a lifetime to be asked to imagine it into being.
"Because of C S Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, I believed in magic and hidden worlds and adventure. I believed that anywhere could be enchanted and that anyone could be swept up into an epic.
"That wonder and awe was available to everyone, even ordinary people like me… It transformed me."
Narnia: The Magician's Nephew arrives in cinemas on 12 February and Netflix on 2 April, 2027.
