Do we know that the casting call to the American studios was for 3 persons or were the two separate casting calls the one to the UK studios and the one for the American studios put together as if they were three different ones? I don't know if my question is making sense.

@decarus I think I sort of get what you mean.

The origin of the first casting call is very clear - a one page Casting Call notice which was sent out by Casting Director Nina Gold's team. You can now find this document on Nina Gold's official Twitter page. It's for two roles only, both of open ethnicity, and for roles which have subsequently been identified as bearing the codenames "Frannie" and "Isadore".

The provenance of the second casting call is a little bit less clear. The information was added to an online casting database for actors - @impending-doom did however manage to verify that the details were authentic by reaching out to the newly revealed US Casting Director

Therefore, per your original question, then yes, I guess there is some possibility that whoever added the details for this second casting call to the website, may have been amalgamating from two sources

At the end of the day though, all three roles are described as "Leads" and two of them are described as "Important Roles" both on the new casting call (Boy 2 and Girl 1) and on the original casting call.

"Boy 1" is the only role with any stipulated ethnicity requirements across both casting calls.

Hmm. Yeah, you answered my question. I just think that it is very unlikely they added a third child. I remember how much we talked about the little girl in VDT that would be Lucy's friend and then that ended up not being a big thing. I mean she didn't make the movie better because Lucy should have talked to the boys, but it wasn't the worst thing about that movie.

I think there is no way they can add another child to the friends of Narnia group from our world. They can only change so many things before it just isn't the same book anymore. I do think just having the two kids will be such a change of pace for Narnia, especially in Charn and the Woods between the world. Having that isolated beginning, his mother on her deathbed, creepy uncle in the attic, that then leads to the quiet of the Woods and the desolation of Charn, and then leads to the big creation of Narnia. How they use sound, keep the beginning of the movie quiet and then explode into sound after the creation of Narnia. I don't know how they are going to figure out the climax of this movie. I guess saving his mother. I need to reread.
