“I hope to make all different kinds of movies in the course of the time I get to make movies, which, it’s a long time, but it’s also limited. I want to do big things and small things and everywhere in between, and having another big canvas is exciting and also daunting,” she said.

The details about Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ films have not been revealed. Moreover, the chances of its filming are slim owing to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, that has brought Hollywood to a standstill.
