Greta Gerwig, the director of Barbie, reportedly clashed with Netflix’s former head of film, Dan Lin, over the studio’s upcoming Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew. Variety reports a Zoom meeting turned sour when Lin dismissed Gerwig’s progress updates, prompting intervention from Netflix executives. Gerwig’s agent escalated the issue, leading to Lin’s removal from the project and replacement by Doug Belgrad. The film, starring Daniel Craig and Meryl Streep, will open theatrically on February 12, 2027, before streaming on Netflix on April 2.
