Find out what happens in the last book of ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ and what is the ending that has never been presented in the film franchise
Debuting in theaters in 2005, “The Chronicles of Narnia” emerged as an adaptation of the Irish author’s works of the same name CS Lewiswho released the first of seven books in 1950.
In the first film, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”, Lúcia (Georgie Henley), Edmundo (Skandar Keynes), Susan (Anna Popplewell) and Pedro (William Moseley), who, after entering a magical wardrobe, are taken to Narnia and embark on a journey guided by the lion Aslan (voice of Liam Neeson), to help the place free itself from the command of the White Witch (Tilda Swinton), who placed Narnia in an eternal winter.
The plot received two sequels also produced by Disney, “Prince Caspian” (2008) and “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” (2010), and could have received more, since the last four books in the saga were not adapted due to the low box office performance of the second and third film.
Therefore, fans of the cinematographic titles were never able to follow the true ending of the plot, which is revealed in the seventh work.
The true ending of ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’
However, those who read the last title, “The Last Battle” were able to discover that the narrative ends with Aslan reaching the conclusion that there is no way to save Narnia, and that the best thing to do is to start again.
To do this, he holds a meeting with local residents so that he can decide who will be chosen to go with him to the best place, nicknamed Aslan’s Country. This is because all those who opposed him or those who gave up along the way lost the magic that dominated them and became common animals. Narnia, on the other hand, ended up being destroyed by water.
In the end, the portal to Narnia is closed by Pedro and Aslan, and those who followed him arrive at the place that can never be corrupted again. It turns out that the place functions as an afterlife, as it is revealed that Pedro, Edmundo and Lúcia, alongside their parents and other friends from Narnia, are dead, and lost their lives after a train accident.
It is worth remembering that Lewis it was Christian, and many of the final details serve as allegories for events found in the Bible, such as what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah, Noah’s Ark and the Apocalypse, in which the world ends up being restarted after major problems with humanity.
“The Chronicles of Narnia” series?
Even though the end has not been shown on the big screen, there is a chance it will be portrayed on the small screen. This is because Netflix will be responsible for distributing a series of “The Chronicles of Narnia” which will be directed by Greta Gerwig (Barbie). Recordings should begin in June 2025.
