It’s been 15 years since the Pevensie siblings’ return to the fantastical world behind the wardrobe in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. This sequel is certainly darker than its 2005 predecessor, as Peter (William Moseley, Friend Request 2017), Edmund (Skandar Keynes, Victoria Died in 1901 and Is Still Alive Today 2001), Susan (Anna Popplewell, Reign 2013) and Lucy (Georgie Henley, The Sisterhood of Night 2014) discover that hundreds of years have passed in Narnia since their last action-packed visit. Needless to say, things aren’t the same.

There’s no more Mr. Tumnus (James McAvoy, It Chapter Two 2019), evil king Miraz (Sergio Castellitto, Don’t Move 2004) is out to kill his nephew (and rightful ruler) Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes, Seventh Son 2014) and, throughout most of this chaos, lion leader Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson, The Grey 2011) is nowhere to be found. Director Andrew Adamson provides a different, bleaker tone in this installment, all without losing the Narnian magic that audiences fell in love with in the inaugural film and C.S. Lewis’ novels.

In celebration of the 15th anniversary, let’s take a look at the main cast of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian then and now.

Ben Barnes

In the movie: Ben Barnes portrays the titular character of Prince Caspian, whose life and rightful claim to the throne are in grave danger after his aunt gives birth to a son. Under the instruction of his mentor Doctor Cornelius (Vincent Grass, The Break 2016), he blows Susan’s ancient horn, which reopens the Narnian portal for the Pevensies, who come to his aid. With a hodgepodge of Narnians by his side, Caspian sets out to defeat his uncle Miraz, before Miraz can defeat him.

What he’s doing now: Ben Barnes has appeared in numerous projects over the years, from Marvel’s The Punisher to Westworld. Currently, he’s well-known for his work as General Kirigan/The Darkling on Netflix’s Shadow and Bone. Unlike the heroic Caspian, this role allows Barnes to stretch his “bad guy” chops. Additionally, Barnes is tapping into his musical side with the release of original tracks, including “11:11.” In the caption for this music video, he said, “I am so thrilled to be sharing this with you after 20 years of wanting to release my own music and finally finding the right reasons… it’s never too late.”

William Moseley

In the movie: William Moseley portrays Peter Pevensie, the eldest sibling. When audiences are reunited with Peter, he’s fighting with peers on the train and acting out, all to ease the restlessness felt at living an ordinary teen life after several extraordinary decades spent in Narnia. Once back in his desired world, he butts heads with Caspian but ultimately learns to set aside any differences for the greater good.

What he’s doing now: Moseley is keeping busy with a slew of projects, including the 2022 Mel Gibson suspense flick On the Line, which follows a radio host as he tries to save his family from a murderous caller. Forthcoming, audiences can see Moseley in Savage Lands (currently in post-production), in which he’ll play Davy Crockett. The synopsis reads, “In 1815, an American Legend, whose wife has fallen deathly ill, leaving his young children to survive on their own, must fight his way back to them across the many perils found in the Savage Lands of the wild frontier.” Additionally, it seems Moseley has been hitting the gym in recent years, with one fan asking on an ab-filled Instagram post, “Which Narnia is this scene from?”

Skandar Keynes

In the movie: Skandar Keynes’ on-screen persona of Edmund Pevensie experiences quite a positive character trajectory between the first and second films. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, his mannerisms are extremely frustrating as he talks down to his siblings, puts Mr. Tumnus in danger and stuffs his face with Turkish delight. Yet in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, he’s the total opposite. He stands up for Lucy when she thinks she’s spotted Aslan, and valiantly fights alongside his brother and the Narnians when called upon. He even enjoys a rather badass moment during the battle scene — when cornered by soldiers, he gracefully falls backward off a tower, only to be caught just in time by a flying creature.

What he’s doing now: After reprising his role of Edmund once more in 2010’s The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Keynes stepped away from the spotlight in favor of politics. It’s been reported that he’s now a political advisor, and once worked with Conservative MP Crispin Blunt. Still, this doesn’t mean Keynes has fully stepped away from Narnia. In December 2022, he posted on Twitter a photo of himself in the snow, standing beside a lamppost that’s reminiscent of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. He captioned it, “Already ran out in the snow in my pyjamas to recreate a bit of childhood wonder.”

Anna Popplewell

In the movie: Anna Popplewell returns as the second-eldest Pevensie sibling, Susan. Out of the foursome, Susan boasts the strongest connection to Prince Caspian. After all, it is her magical horn that he uses to call for help, which in turn opens the Narnian portal for the Pevensies once again. In fact, she’s the first Pevensie to enjoy a bit of romance, as she shares a kiss with Caspian before heading back to the real world.

What she’s doing now: Popplewell continues to be a busy, working actress. Her recent roles include Morgan in 2022’s The Gallery, which follows an art curator who is held hostage by a portraitist. Upcoming, she’s set to portray a teacher at St. Mary’s School in The Nun 2, the highly-anticipated sequel to 2018’s The Nun.

Georgie Henley

In the movie: Georgie Henley is the wide-eyed youngest Pevensie sibling, Lucy, who never fails to believe in magic, even when things look bleak. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lucy forms quite a bond with Aslan. Therefore, it’s understandable that upon her return to Narnia 1000-plus years later, she refuses to believe that the almighty lion is gone. In the end, her faith pays off.

What she’s doing now: Like her on-screen sister Popplewell, Henley is staying busy in the entertainment industry, having recently appeared in The Spanish Princess, The Diplomat, and numerous other projects. When she’s not acting, Henley is penning poetry. Recently, she released her debut poetry collection Amphibian, which looks at the body through a fresh lens. The official description reads, “From poems about lust and love to power and gender touching on both modern and classical references. These poems are sensual, entrancing, feminist, and powerful.”
