Digory and Polly are recast with new resonance, and while not a musical, the film aims for a rock-opera vibe. The cast includes Daniel Craig, Emma Mackey, and Meryl Streep, with a cinema release set for February 12, 2027 and Netflix arrival on April 2, 2027; the feature is teased in Empire’s world-exclusive cover story.
