You Are NOT Going to Believe Who They Reportedly Want to Cast as Aslan in the New Narnia Movies

Well, okay, to be fair, you might believe this:

Now, first off, this is from a source called Nexus Point News and yeah … we never heard of them before, either. Discussing film calls it a rumor, and we think it is entirely because they don’t 100% trust this source.

But on the other hand, it would be pretty typical, wouldn’t it? And true or not, we think the reaction is also worth covering, if only as a warning shot to Hollywood.

In any case, according to the article whoever plays Aslan will be a woman:

An offer has been made to Meryl Streep to portray a central character in the series: Aslan, the Great Lion. Streep is in talks to portray Aslan, who will be female in the series. Aslan in the novels is a talking lion who serves as Narnia’s guardian and a mentor to the human children. Typically portrayed as a male, Aslan was created as an allegory for Jesus by author C.S. Lewis.

Of course, the fact that the lion is male is also significant in one of crucial scenes in both the book and the 2005 live action movie. Before they sacrifice Aslan in 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,' they shave his mane in an act of humiliation. Female lions do not have manes. So they are removing a degree of the humiliation in that scene.

Plus it just feels like cultural vandalism—just changing things to change them. With Snow White bombing at the box office, at some point you have to ask why these filmmakers can’t ‘read the room?’

Naturally, Netflix and Gerwig got dragged:

Mr. Huff showed up previously on Twitchy with a very unique children’s book and he loves to use fake AI images to make him and others laugh, so we wouldn’t take him very seriously in making this suggestion.

To be fair, it’s actually a seven-book series. And reportedly she is working on the sixth book: ‘The Magician’s Nephew.’ While it is the sixth volume, it is a prequel to the whole series. Reporting also indicates that she is working on another movie based on another book, but we don’t know which one that is.

Is he claiming that Streep will pretend to be a man doing this?

Women can and do voice young men, because the voice of a young man tends to be higher pitched. That doesn’t really work with an adult man.

That we agree with.

There are many older men who would be perfect.

Not impossible.

That’s it, champ.

We know. We are so ashamed on their behalf.
