Lewis\u2019 classic book series, in which Aslan is a Christlike figure who sacrifices himself to save Edmund, a youngster in the story \u2014but later rises from the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This fall, Netflix and director Greta Gerwig unveiled the first trailer for “Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew,” with Streep taking over as the voice of Aslan. The film opens in theaters Feb. 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neeson learned of Streep\u2019s casting during an interview with ScreenRant promoting his new action thriller, “The Mongoose.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI was just curious,\u201d reporter Liam Crowley told Neeson, \u201cnow that Narnia is back in the news cycle \u2014 we’re getting a new interpretation next year \u2014 if you had a chance to check out the trailer and what it feels like to now have people revisiting that franchise on the big screen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is news to me,\u201d Neeson responded, unaware of the Netflix film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, I’m grateful to be the one to break it to you,\u201d Crowley responded. \u201cMeryl Streep is taking on Aslan this time around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nLiam Neeson, the legendary voice of Aslan in the original Narnia films, was completely blindsided by the news that Meryl Streep will take over the role for Netflix’s new adaptation.\u00a0<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
