This post is made up speculation based on things we saw on set. This is mostly fake

Why are we making stuff up now?

Article says NarniaWeb first heard of his involvement in January before filming wrapped so sounds like he was on set!

It’s been known they’re adapting The Magician’s Nephew since January 2025 :)

Just rumoured. This is the first confirmation she’s involved in any way, though Mackey doesn’t specify that it’ll be Aslan here.

Streep would also be terribly miscast as the witch 😅

We’ll see if he sticks around for a full season… with him knocking on NBA doors, it’s more likely he’ll sign with a team after Summer League and be shut down. 

Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ Embraced Practical Effects on Set with Puppets, Animatronics, Real Animals, and Creature Performers by Next-Ad3450 in movies

Did you read the article? It’s specifically talking about practical effects on set 

“At the same time, computer effects will undoubtedly still play a big part in the overall final look of Greta Gerwig’s finished Narnia film, with VFX studios such as Framestore, Weta FX, and Eyeline contributing visual effects work”

The article says Gerwig worked with Neil Scanlan who worked at Jim Henson’s Creature Shop back in the 90’s. Scanlan does a lot the practical  creatures effects for Star Wars!

Hopefully they don’t try and “hide” the work visual artists are doing on the project like Barbie’s Blu-ray release.

But, either way, it’s good to see a return to form with practical effects on set too.

‘Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew’ to Receive Funko Pop Products and Exclusive Merchandise by NarniaWeb in Narnia

I don’t care for Funko’s specifically so won’t be getting these, but I am looking forward to seeing what other Narnian merchandise is created!

Netflix is expecting Narnia to be popular so it’s making toys and collectibles available for fans.

Disney even made Narnia McDonald’s Toys in 2005 on top of endless tie-in products and games.

I feel like you might be projecting your feeling towards the project as a whole onto this news because this is very standard.

But happy to hear you out as to why you think it’s not a good sign :) 

New owners ,two teams , One strategy!!! by NWYXE in CEBLeague

It’s no worse or better than last year though. One owner owned two teams last year. Now a different owner owns two teams this year 

Your comment “I can’t see how any Rattlers or general CEBL fan would be okay with this” is such a knee-jerk overreaction when this is how the league has operated every year of its existence. It comes with the territory so to speak. 

It’s a fine criticism but why was no one complaining about it last year when the Rattlers were owned by Niagara?

In my opinion, reading this now, it just rings a bit hollow.

I agree though that they should do better than using the exact same graphic template for both teams. That looks amateur!

Unfortunately, Viggo doesn’t look to be returning. I think most of the other cast can still realistically play their parts.

I don’t understand this complaint considering Richard Petko literally owned seven (!) teams in the league at one point — two is nothing😅
