Emma Mackey’s Jadis Emerges as a Shiny Threat in Narnia’s First Chronological Tale Emma Mackey plays Jadis in Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, where the character prepares fresh anarchy after a long confinement in Charn. Her shiny glam-rock look is both alluring and frightening to Digory and Polly in the post-war rubble of 1950s London. For viewers who first entered Narnia through The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, Jadis already carries a clear warning. At that point in the story, she is the White Witch ruling the fantasy kingdom. The Magician’s Nephew shifts the action to the opening entry in Narnia’s internal timeline, showing her before she becomes the figure audiences recognize. Jadis before the familiar White Witch In Greta Gerwig’s adaptation, Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, Emma Mackey takes on Jadis. Mackey had previously appeared in Barbie as one of its many Barbies, specifically Physicist Barbie. The new version places Jadis in a different physical and emotional position from the later ruler, while tracing the direction in which she is heading. Fresh anarchy after Charn Charn kept Jadis confined for a long period. Her path crosses that of young Digory, played by David McKenna, and Polly, played by Beatrice Campbell, as she gets ready to release a new wave of anarchy. The meeting brings that threat into the children’s world instead of presenting her as an already established sovereign. Mackey said Gerwig’s approach to the character caught her attention immediately. She cited a script description that labels Jadis “all chaos and bad plans.” Mackey also portrayed her as an outsized presence who enters Digory and Polly’s world and leaves them surprised. A shiny look with a dangerous edge The costume reinforces how the children experience Jadis. Its design draws on Gerwig’s glam-rock cultural inspirations, making the character look unlike anything they would have encountered in London’s post-war wreckage during the 1950s. The clothing is not merely decorative; it communicates both appeal and menace. Mackey described the desired effect as a mix of fun and unease. Digory and Polly can see Jadis as shiny and exciting, yet also feel unsure because she is a little frightening and they cannot predict how to act around her. Her outfit is comfortable and prepared for war, so the glamour is paired with an obvious readiness for battle. Issue and release dates The November 2026 issue goes on sale Thursday, September 24.

Because the adaptation returns to the first story in Narnia’s chronology, it shows her before she becomes the White Witch. Gerwig’s glam-rock visual approach also explains the shiny, war-ready quality of the character’s appearance. • Immediate cause: Jadis has been trapped in Charn for a long time and is preparing to unleash fresh anarchy after crossing paths with Digory and Polly. That history gives context to her disruptive presence. • Chronological order: The Magician’s Nephew is presented as the first Narnia tale in the timeline. Jadis is therefore shown moving toward the ruler she will eventually become, rather than occupying that position already. • Known earlier outcome: In The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, Jadis is the White Witch who has imposed her rule over the fantasy kingdom. The new film shows the stage before that outcome. • Visual inspiration: Gerwig’s glam-rock cultural inspirations shape Jadis’s costume. The design makes her shiny and exciting, but also frightening, comfortable, and ready for war. • What comes next: The film reaches cinemas on February 12, 2027, followed by Netflix on April 2, 2027.
