Second Narnia Film Already in the Works
Disney is already looking ahead to the next one. Zoradi said they’ve begun work on a second script. “In my nearly 25 years at Disney, I’ve never seen the company so energised so early about a film,” Mark Zoradi, the president of Buena Vista International told them. “The film will be visually stunning and emotionally breathtaking.”

It’s in turnaround at the moment. Likely moving to another studio.
