Jimmy Page allowed Stairway To Heaven to be used in the trailer for Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew. The song, released in 1971 and featured on the group’s fourth album, appears in the trailer in a heavily rearranged version.

Page said he had the opportunity to meet Greta Gerwig and was pleased that she selected Stairway To Heaven for the film’s trailer. According to Variety, Gerwig asked Page and Robert Plant for permission to use the song in the film and showed them an early cut.

Gerwig said Stairway To Heaven was suitable for introducing the world of the film. Led Zeppelin had previously rejected requests to use the song in Wayne’s World and Almost Famous.

When The Levee Breaks was used in Argo (2012) and The Big Short (2015), while Immigrant Song was used in Thor: Ragnarok. Black Dog was used in The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth.
