White Witch, whose name is Jadis, is the primary antagonist of not just Magician’s Nephew but also the best known of all the Narnia books, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. She is the one who plunged Narnia into an endless winter (where it never ever gets to Christmas) and turns her enemies into statues.

Gerwig and Netflix have finally found their villain in the upcoming adaptation of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia books.

BAFTA winner Emma Mackey (Sex Education) is set to play the White Witch in Netflix’s Narnia movie from filmmaker Greta Gerwig, sources have confirmed to Deadline. She takes over a role to which Charli xcx had previously been linked.
