Carey Mulligan: “I Want to Work With Greta Forever” After Filming Narnia

In a recent interview for French fashion Magazine Elle, the BAFTA-winning British actress Carey Mulligan spoke about her experience working with Director Greta Gerwig on Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew.

“Oh my goodness, I loved it. I want to work with Greta forever. Seeing her in her element directing was just amazing – she’s just unbelievable. I’ve not seen a single moment where she has looked stressed or unhappy or any sort of normal emotion that you might feel directing an absolutely enormous film like this. She’s a complete joy – and that was infectious to the crew. Just the happiest crew, best cast. I can’t wait to see what she’s put together.”

Mulligan was one of the first confirmed cast members and has remained consistent in her praise for Gerwig and the production as a whole. 

In August of 2025 she brought up her longstanding desire to work with Gerwig, stating that it felt like a “kind of a pinch-me moment. So yeah, I’m just feeling incredibly lucky.”

The film’s shoot wrapped on January 30st and is set for a Thanksgiving IMAX release, followed by a Netflix premiere on Christmas Day.
