Report: Actors Playing Digory and Polly Revealed!
We may have found our Digory and Polly!
What’s On Netflix claim to have identified the young actors on set this week, who are presumed to be playing Digory and Polly, in Greta Gerwig and Netflix’s adaptation of ‘The Magician’s Nephew’.
David McKenna, who, like C.S. Lewis himself, hails from Belfast Northern Ireland, is reportedly playing Digory Kirke. David has had a number of roles in Musical Theater, and recently starred in an upcoming adaptation of ‘The Lord of the Flies’ for the BBC. David appears to be 13 years old at present.
Meanwhile Beatrice Campbell (who appears to be credited as Beatrice Cohen in some sources) is reportedly playing Polly Plummer. Beatrice has two screen credits to her name – one in Wes Anderson’s ‘The Phoenician Scheme’ and one in the Hulu / Disney+ drama series ‘The Stolen Girl’.
We’d like to wish both actors all the best in their new roles!
Welcome to Narnia, David and Beatrice!
There’s something a bit mischievous in Beatrice’s smile. They’re both such cuties though. They’re very lucky to be a part of this!
Yay! Finally some more casting news! Looking forward to see how this all plays out!
With respect to the actors, my enthusiasm has evaporated now we know it’s all been moved to the 50s.
This is exciting!!!
How sure are we that these are the cast for the 2 roles? Are they proven beyond reasonable doubt?
Yes, Beatrice’s smile looks a bit cheeky. But I can see her be a version of Polly that Gerwig would write.
