Emma Mackey has been lighting up the film world with buzz around her high-profile projects this week. In a fresh interview highlighted by NarniaWeb, the British star, playing the chilling Jadis in Greta Gerwigs upcoming Narnia adaptation, dropped hints about sharing the set with none other than Meryl Streep, who seems poised to voice the iconic Aslan. Mackeys comments, tied to Streeps recent Late Show chat where she mentioned filming in London with producer Amy Pascal on another project, fuel speculation of an on-set magic moment between the two powerhouses, potentially reshaping her biographical arc as a collaborator with legends. This chatter erupted just days ago, underscoring her rising clout in fantasy epics.
Meanwhile, on The Drew Barrymore Show this week, Gabby Windey couldnt stop raving about Mackey as a standout from Sex Education in the cast of the hot drama The Drama, confirming hunky Connor Storrie is aboard too, per Paramount Press Express transcripts. Its a juicy nod to her enduring TV legacy spilling into new ensemble buzz.
Film circles are also revisiting her bold post-pandemic turn in Death on the Nile, the divisive Agatha Christie sequel Collider calls her first big-screen splash after lockdowns, with the Peacock streamer yanking it this April amid sequel whispers. And whispers of her in Julia Ducournaus raw-edged Alpha, per OutlawVern reviews from early April, paint her as the steadfast nurse in a dystopian hospital meltdown, hinting at another boundary-pushing role with long-term indie cred.
No major headlines broke in the past 24 hours, but these ripples position Mackey for blockbuster breakthroughs.
