First trailer for Narnia: The Magician's Nephew by Barbie director Greta Gerwig released

Fans of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe have just got a glimpse of Greta Gerwig's Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew.

The trailer for the Oscar-nominated filmmaker's adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s 1955 novel of the same name was released on Tuesday (13 October).

The film - which promises to take viewers on a 'fantastical adventure and leave you forever changed' - is set to be released in cinemas next February.

David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell star alongside cinema legends such as Emma Mackey, Daniel Craig, and Meryl Streep in the upcoming flick.

Take a look at the trailer here:

Carey Mulligan, Ciarán Hinds, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Denise Gough and Susan Wokoma also join the star-studded cast of Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew.

The movie is set to offer Narnia fans an alternate perspective of the popular story - as The Magician’s Nephew 'shows how all the comings and goings between our own world and the land of Narnia first began'.

The book was published five years after The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Gerwig told Netflix she is over the moon to have the opportunity to bring her own version of the story to life, as a lifelong Narnia fan.

"I was a child when I first read The Magician’s Nephew, and I fell in love with the gorgeously improbable but completely brilliant concept of a cosmic lion singing the world of Narnia to life.

"I didn’t know that I would grow up to make films, but a universe built out of music is an idea that always lived in my heart.

"It is the honor of a lifetime to be asked to imagine it into being. Because of C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, I believed in magic and hidden worlds and adventure.

"I believed that anywhere could be enchanted and that anyone could be swept up into an epic. That wonder and awe was available to everyone, even ordinary people like me ... It transformed me."

Following their brilliant collaboration on the uber-successful Barbie movie with Gerwig, Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt are working on the original score for the upcoming film.
