When Netflix announced its next big project, a big-screen adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia books, fans were optimistic for a number of reasons. Barbie’s Greta Gerwig was attached to write and direct at least the first two movies, and unlike the previous Disney adaptations of the 2000s, this film series would start with The Magician’s Nephew, the Narnia origin story set decades before The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
But apparently, these Netflix movies will make a fundamental change to the world of Narnia as a whole. And while this change updates the story for a new audience, it causes a number of timeline questions for this new adaptation.
