"Resurfaced set photos for Netflix's upcoming Chronicles of Narnia film reveal a setting that isn't around the turn of the century, when The Magician's Nephew book was set, but instead, something more akin to 1955, the year The Magician's Nephew was published."
"This small change may not affect the story of The Magician's Nephew that much, but it has drastic consequences for the future of the franchise."
"If the prequel story itself is set after WWII, then the Pevensies wouldn't enter the picture until the 1990s at the earliest."
Netflix's upcoming adaptation of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia will begin with The Magician's Nephew, but it will be set in the 1950s instead of the original 1900. This change raises significant timeline questions for the franchise, particularly regarding the Pevensie siblings' introduction. The original story is set during wartime, which is crucial to its context. If the prequel is set post-WWII, the Pevensies may not appear until the 1990s, shifting the narrative's relevance for modern audiences.
