Greta Celeste Gerwig is an American director, screenwriter, and actress who has become one of the most influential filmmakers of the 21st century. After making history with "Barbie" (2023)—which became the highest-grossing film ever directed by a woman—she spent the last two years quietly developing Netflix's most ambitious film franchise to date. In 2026, Gerwig unveils her vision for "The Chronicles of Narnia" (November 26, 2026). She writes and directs "The Magician's Nephew", the first film in her planned Narnia tenure. Breaking from the release order of the 2000s films, Gerwig chose to adapt the franchise's chronological origin story first. The film stars Emma Mackey as the White Witch (Jadis) and Daniel Craig as Uncle Andrew, exploring the dying world of Charn and the creation of Narnia. The project has been described as a "massive swing," with a theatrical IMAX release window secured before its Christmas streaming debut. Beyond the director's chair, 2026 marks her return to acting. She stars in "Jay Kelly", the new film directed by her husband Noah Baumbach. Starring alongside George Clooney and Adam Sandler, Gerwig plays a pivotal role in the comedy-drama, which premiered on the festival circuit in late 2025 and saw its wide release in early 2026.
