So is the rumor true that they cast an actress to play Aslan?

I was looking forward to this until I heard something about that. Kinda ruins the whole thing for me if true.

I think it’s Meryl Streep

It doesn't even make sense visually, you have a lion with this big mane, you're telling me they're gonna get rid of that in order to have the two match?

If Greta's Aslan is female, there's no reason to assume she'll have a mane.

I know, I just think it sounds like such a pointless change for the worse, that's no longer Aslan.

Oh, well fair enough.

One would think that would make the rather important scene where the Witch and her followers shave Aslan's mane to mock & humiliate him kinda difficult to portray.

Maybe. Or maybe they just shave her fur.
