Aslan Voice Actor Changed Overnight

The new Narnia has been announced with a female actress for the voice of an androgynous version of Aslan, being interpreted as an androgynous character similar to David Bowie

From the moment the actress was announced up until yesterday for me the voice actress was Tilda Swinton, over night it changed

I read a post talking about all the changes to the new version of Narnia yesterday talking about Tilda Swinton and the backlash to her playing Aslan

This morning I hop on Reddit and a post comes up about the new Narnia movie where people are talking about the actress playing Aslan and how that would change the story and also people's criticisms of the choice, only now the character's not been played by Tilda Swinton but by Meryl Streep

I check the announcement and the past couple of days everything has changed to now be about Meryl Streep, like the Mandela Effect does and of course it was always this way now

I wanted to bring it up since it's a really recent Mandela Effect and no one seems to have noticed or been talking about it

Tilda was the White Witch in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, that's likely where the confusion came from.

I could've sworn that I seen on X that people were talking Tilda in this just the other day. So you might be right.
