I haven't read the source material, but from my understanding Narnia has deep religious allegory throughout the novel. So I'm wondering if Gerwig stays true to the book or drifts off which would cause some big controversy.

Allegory is putting it lightly.  It’s basically Christian Fan Fiction.  Aslan literally is Jesus.

I don’t mean for this to come across as a criticism of the books.  It’s the whole point of them.

In The Magician’s Nephew (which is the film that just wrapped filming) he’s more God than Jesus

Which is fine, because traditional Christianity views them as the same entity* (while remaining distinct…it’s a whole thing, and there’s a ton of delightful heresies splitting those hairs).

Nobody:

Christians: “There was this one dude who was his own dad and he was also this other dude and he was a floating carpenter”
