Hit-maker Mark Ronson and director Greta Gerwig are looking to work together again after the magic they made on the billion-dollar movie “Barbie.” In a new reveal from the CBS morning show “Today,” the musician/composer has dished while promoting a memoir, “Night People,” that he is looking to reunite with the director, alluding to her “Naria” prequel film at Netflix, said to be adapting the C.S. Lewis novel “The Magician’s Nephew.”
However, CBS is being cautious, as they point out Netflix didn’t comment or clarify if the reunion was specifically for “Naria,” but at the same time, they aren’t refuting what Ronson said about the reunion for “her new Netflix film.”

Of course, Ronson previously worked on Gerwig’s “Barbie” movie, working with her on the film’s music/soundtrack, where Ryan Gosling got to channel his “Mickey Mouse Club” roots (where he co-starred with yet-to-be popstars such as Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera) with the song “I’m Just Ken,” that he also performed live at the Oscars back in 2024.
The new “Narnia” revival at the streaming service stars Emma Mackey as Jadis the White Witch (the antagonist from the original BBC TV miniseries and modern feature films), former James Bond actor Daniel Craig as Andrew Ketterley, Carey Mulligan as Mbael Kirke, and living legend Meryl Streep reportedly voices Aslan the Lion (Lewis’ messiah figure).
We don’t exactly know HOW this could fit into this “Naria” movie, which isn’t exactly a contemporary setting, but given the whimsical nature of the fantasy land, some musical moments wouldn’t be entirely shocking (think Paul King‘s recent “Wonka“) with the inhabitants of Narnia, populated by all sorts of fantastical and magical creatures that could easily break out into song.
