Susana’s fate that does not appear in the films

Created by Irish author CS Lewisthe literary franchise of “The Chronicles of Narnia” is about to get a new live-action adaptation by Netflix, directed by Greta Gerwig (Barbie). According to a report released in December 2024 by Bloomerang, production is scheduled to debut in December 2026.

This, however, will not be the first adaptation of the franchise that presents us with the adventures of the Pevensie brothers in the magical world of Narnia. In the mid-2000s, Disney adapted three of the seven books in the universe for cinemas: “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” (2005), “Prince Caspian” (2008) and “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” ” (2010).

According to information shared by the TecMundo portal, despite the first feature being a huge success, the two other productions did not have the expected return at the box office, causing the studio to discard the idea of ​​adapting the other literary works.

For this reason, in theaters, the public did not have the opportunity to find out about the creation of Narnia, or to follow the final fate of the Pevensie brothers, including Susana’s sad ending — facts explained in the books.

What happens to Susan at the end of ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’?

Being the second oldest among the Pevensie brothers, at the end of “Prince Caspian”, the powerful lion Aslan announces to Susana and Pedro that the two will no longer return to Narnia because they are already grown up, and have learned everything they should in that world.

After returning to England, while Pedro decided to continue living with professor Digory Kirke, to continue his studies and enter college, and Edmundo and Lúcia went to live with his uncles Arnaldo and Alberta, Eustáquio’s parents, Susana traveled with her parents to the States United to focus on your education.

Years later, Peter, Edmund, Lucia and all the other humans who have ever visited Narnia — including Professor Digory, Eustace, Jill and Polly — receive a vision of King Tirian, the current ruler of Narnia, crying out for help, as the magical land would be being destroyed by Aslan who, after realizing that the world had become corrupt, would have decided to destroy and start all over again, this being a kind of metaphor for the Day of Judgment presented in the Bible, as explained by the ScreenRant.

With that, everyone decides to return to Narnia for the last time — except Susana. In the books, we discover that the girl lost faith in Narnia, and became a woman who only cares about makeup and social commitments and, therefore, would have been the only one who did not receive Tirian’s call.

Unfortunately, while Pedro, Edmundo and Lúcia, alongside their parents and other friends from Narnia, prepare to return to the magical world, they all end up dead in a train accident, which takes them directly to the land they once ruled.

When they get there, the older Pevensie is asked by Tirian why only one of his sisters was present. Sighing, the king explains that Susana was no longer a friend of Narnia like them, with Eustáquio completing his reasoning by stating that, today, the girl refers to the kingdom just as a fantasy world created by them as a joke when they were younger.

Jill ends by saying that, currently, Susana “only thinks about lingerie, makeup and social commitments. In fact, she was always crazy about being big.”

After this, the group finds the powerful lion creating the apocalypse and summoning only true Narnians to accompany him to the Country of Aslan, a place similar to paradise.

The Pevensies, alongside the other friends of Narnia, are selected, and Pedro becomes responsible for permanently closing the passage between Narnia and the human world, causing Susana to live alone and without a family since, despite her family members are alive in the Country of Aslan, in our world, they all died in the train accident.
