Narnia: Greta Gerwig's Narnia film has reportedly wrapped filming, details explored

Filming for Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Narnia: The Magician's Nephew was reportedly completed recently in London. The production lasted approximately six months, starting in August 2025, due to a one-month delay from its original start date in July. The movie is one of Netflix's largest films for this year, and the completion of filming is a major milestone as the film now moves into post-production.

The majority of filming took place in several studio spaces located throughout the UK; the majority of the large sequences were filmed at Shepperton, Longcross and Cardington studios. A substantial amount of filming occurred in busy urban centres like London, Manchester and Bradford.

Many people captured some of the filming by posting pictures on their social media accounts, allowing fans of the movie to follow this production very closely, considering that there were very few details regarding the film and filming provided to the public during its entire duration. As a result, there is now increased excitement among all fans after the end of filming.

The team behind the new Narnia movie announced they are about to begin extensive post-production work on the film. Many visual effects companies known for their work on major motion pictures, such as Framestore and Weta, have already begun work on various aspects of the visual effects. Post-Production normally comprises several months' worth of work when dealing with fantasy motion picture productions because almost all of the imagery requires visual effects and special effects.

While the name of the film's editor hasn't been disclosed as of now, it is likely that Nick Houy, who has edited all of Gerwig's previous movies, may be named as the editor for this film, too

A closer look at the production schedule behind the Narnia movie

Even though filming of the Narnia movie is reportedly now complete, the road to this point was not simple. Production was supposed to start in July, but ran into a short delay. This pushed the start to August and extended the overall timeline to six months.

The crew worked across three studios at the same time. It is common for big films to spread their work like this, especially when they need to create many different worlds. The outdoor filming in London, Manchester and Bradford added a different look to the movie. Some scenes were shot in old streets and historic buildings, which may connect to the early parts of the story in Narnia: The Magician's Nephew. The book explores the creation of Narnia and includes many scenes set in London. Because of that, fans believe these real-world locations will appear in the film.

People working inside the production say that Gerwig wanted the world of the book to feel both magical and grounded. She has spoken in past interviews about keeping fantasy stories rooted in feelings and character. While she has not revealed many details about the film, the long production and the mix of studio and outdoor locations suggest a large and detailed world.

What happens next before the release of the Narnia movie?

Filming is now finished, so the next step will be editing the footage and adding in visual effects, special effects and sound effects. Post-production on a fantasy film tends to take a long time due to having to add in creatures/landscapes/magic. Framestore and Weta have worked on a lot of big-budget fantasy films, including Marvel, DC and other franchises. The involvement of Framestore and Weta is strong evidence of Netflix's desire to create a visually spectacular world.

Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt will be composing the Narnia movie's score. Earlier films had a more conventional epic fantasy style, but Gerwig's modern influence will lend itself to an entirely unique sound, providing a completely new ambience within Narnia.
