Meryl Streep Is Aslan in Greta Gerwig's Narnia Movie

Netflix unveiled its First Look at Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew this afternoon as the film nears its February release. Obviously, the big headline is that Meryl Streep will voice Aslan, a talking lion C.S. Lewis made very clear isn’t an allegory but Jesus Christ incarnate. On that note, Aslan is still referred to as a “he” and his look is inspired by David Bowie, so the discourse around this movie should get real spicy, real quick. - (Empire)
