Joe Locke and Emma Myers Want to Join Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ Movie

Two young stars, Joe Locke and Emma Myers, have expressed interest in appearing in Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated The Chronicles of Narnia adaptations for Netflix.

Joe Locke, 20, known for his role in Netflix’s Heartstopper, recently shared his excitement about the potential of working with Gerwig during an interview promoting the MCU’s Agatha All Along, which premiered this week.

I’d love to work with Greta Gerwig. She’s amazing. […] I’d absolutely love to [be cast in her Narnia films]”

Meanwhile, Emma Myers, 22, best known for her role in Wednesday, also revealed her desire to join Gerwig’s take on the beloved C.S. Lewis series. In a live Q&A, Myers said that her dream role would be to play Susan Pevensie. She told RadioTimes in July that “Susan and Lucy from Narnia were always my role models!”

In another interview, Myers spoke about how deeply the Narnia books and films impacted her as a child:

I really, really loved the Narnia series – I read the books when I was little and absolutely loved the films. I think that the fantasy genre kind of inspired me a lot as a kid…”

Azriel Dalman, 11, who recently portrayed a young Percy in Disney’s Percy Jackson, also wants to get involved in Gerwig’s adaptation. Dalman playfully replied to a fan asking him about his dream acting roles, “Maybe Greta Gerwig will call me up about The Chronicles of Narnia? Please?”

In 2023, Netflix confirmed that Greta Gerwig would be directing and writing “at least” two films of their Narnia series. Despite the anticipation, Netflix has not announced any cast yet, leaving fans and young actors eagerly awaiting further details.

Here’s everything we know about the project.
