Madsen Voices Maugrim
Okay, here's a question maybe someone can answer for me: In Lewis' book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Maugrim is identified early on as the Chief of the White Witch's secret police. Toward the end of the book, Peter uses his Santa-gift sword to slay Fenris Ulf, then identified as the chief of the Witch's wolves. So which is it? Fenris Ulf, or Maugrim? Because Maugrim is nowhere to be seen at the end of Lewis' book...
Anyhoo... In the movie, it's Maugrim all the way. And in Narnia film producer Perry Moore's new book, The Official Illustrated Movie Companion for Narnia, released earlier in the week, Moore records a conversation he had with Michael Madsen, the actor providing the voice of Maugrim.
So at least one mystery is solved...

I've been wondering that too... I think it's time to read the book again! How's that for a Sunday afternoon activity?
Let us know what you find!
the character is Fenris Ulf in the American version, and Maugrim in the British (original). There's always been a debate as to which Lewis preferred, since he purposefully changed it in the American, yet didn't ever do the job for the British.
Aha! So that's the story. And the only edition I've ever read is some kind of hybrid, 'cause it mixes the two names!
Thanks for clearing that up... Sort of!
Yeah, he was originally named Maugrim, a combination of "maw" "morgue" and "grim", but it was changed to "Fenris Ulf" in the american version by Lous. As Celery said, no one is sure which was preffered.
