Silver Chair

The Silver Chair would be the fourth film in the series. Andrew Adamson, the director of the first two movies in the series indicated that he wanted films two through four to be released closely together, which implies that The Silver Chair will most likely be made if The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a bigger box office hit than Prince Caspian. However, pre-production has not yet started. Like the third Narnia film, this film would be currently distributed by 20th Century Fox.

As noted above, Ben Barnes was expected to reprise the role of Caspian X due to the terms of his contract, and Will Poulter had been cast as Eustace; however, the movie will be released 2011.
