Meryl Streep's Aslan casting sparks Christian right backlash

Meryl Streep will voice Aslan in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming adaptation of The Magician’s Nephew, part of the Narnia series, sparking criticism from conservative Christians who view the casting as disrespectful to religious themes. The director explained she chose Streep for her wisdom and gravitas, not to provoke controversy. Some evangelical commentators consider the casting offensive, but others see irony in their objection, given their acceptance of depicting Christ as an animal creature. The film aims to present a reimagined Narnia through a rock opera style, with notable cast members, but the focus remains on the controversy surrounding Streep’s voice portrayal of Aslan.
