Mark Ronson to Score Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ Adaptation for Netflix

Mark Ronson is slated to reunite with Greta Gerwig to score her “Chronicles of Narnia” adaptation at Netflix, Variety can confirm.

Sources tell Variety that Ronson is working on the music for her much-anticipated follow-up to “Barbie,” with Gerwig writing and directing the film. The fantasy adventure reportedly follows “The Magician’s Nephew,” the sixth novel in C.S. Lewis’ series. The cast includes Meryl Streep, Daniel Craig and Emma Mackey. In May, Carey Mulligan was in talks to star in the adaptation.

Ronson previously served as executive music producer for Gerwig’s “Barbie,” for which he co-wrote and co-produced five songs, co-wrote the score with Andrew Wyatt, and served as executive producer. He’s been working on the project amid the rollout for his memoir “Night People: How to Be a DJ in ’90s New York City,” which was released Sept. 16. The book details his days on NYC’s club playground, recounting his rise as an audiophile to one of the city’s hottest DJs.

Variety previously broke the news that Plan B has optioned the rights to “Night People,” with plans to adapt his coming-of-age story into a feature film. Plan B recently found success with “F1,” “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and the Netflix limited series “Adolescence,” which scored several Primetime Emmys earlier this month.

Greta’s “Narnia” will serve as a prequel to “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” centering on the creation of Narnia by Aslan the lion (voiced by Streep). The film is expected to open in Imax around Thanksgiving Day 2026, where it will screen for two weeks in advance of a Netflix debut around Christmas.
