In a recent interview with Screen Rant, William Moseley opened up about his desire to return to the Narnia franchise in the film’s upcoming reboot. The movie is returning on Netflix with ‘Barbie’s Greta Gerwig taking on the directorial role of the fantasy world.
William Moseley, who is currently promoting his latest film ‘Murder Company’, has played the role of the oldest among the Pevensie children in the original Narnia film. Speaking about the possibilities of his return in the future Narnia films, Moseley said he would be more than happy to reprise his role.
“Yes,’ is the short answer. If I was asked, I would go in a heartbeat,” he said. “But I have to remind you of one line from the books and the movies. I think Aslan says it,” the actor added.
‘The Chronicles Of Narnia‘ reboot will revolve around a series of seven high fantasy children’s novels by CS Lewis, that follows the adventure of children who get lost in a fantasy world and get transported to the magical realm of Narnia. There so far have been three movies in the franchise and Moseley played the role of Peter Pevensie in all of them.

“And that’s the way it is. If I might ever get asked that, great, but I don’t think it’s there,” he added.
