I write to you with a heavy heart and a deep sense of urgency. News has surfaced that Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of
The Chronicles of Narnia , directed by Greta Gerwig, may feature a female voice actor for the role of Aslan.

A DISRESPECT TO C.S. LEWIS’ LEGACY

Aslan is not just a talking lion. He is the spiritual heart of Narnia, deliberately created by C.S. Lewis as a representation of Jesus Christ — strong, sacrificial, and distinctly male.

Changing Aslan’s voice to a female actor is not a creative evolution. It is a direct contradiction of Lewis’ stated intention and the wishes of the Lewis family. This decision does not respect the theological foundation of the story. It rewrites it.

A DANGEROUS CULTURAL SHIFT

This isn’t just about voice casting. It’s about the slow erasure of truth in beloved stories that once pointed audiences to God.

By altering Aslan’s identity, the creators of the new adaptation risk distorting the Gospel-centered message that has made Narnia a cherished part of Christian literature and film. Millions of children and families who look to Aslan as a symbol of Christ could be misled or confused.

TOGETHER WE CAN DEFEND THIS TRUTH

We must act now to urge the creators of this adaptation to honor C.S. Lewis’ vision and preserve the character of Aslan as he was always meant to be.

This is a crucial moment. The project is still in development, and with enough voices, we can call the filmmakers to accountability. We must stand for truth, respect artistic intent, and defend the spiritual integrity of the stories that shape our culture.
