Charli XCX Reportedly In Talks To Appear in Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ Film
Written by djfrosty on March 6, 2025
Charli XCX created a clubland dream world with her Brat revolution, and now it seems she may be stepping further into the realm of fantasy.
As first reported by Deadline, the pop star is being considered for a role in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia film, which the revered director is creating for Netflix. Deadline reports that the singer is “among top choices for a key role” but does not note which of the beloved characters this might be — though the report notes it “potentially could be Jadis, The White Witch.”
A representative for Charli did not immediately respond to Billboard‘s request for comment.
Gerwig, who sparked a global movement of her own with her 2023 Barbie movie, is directing a take on C.S. Lewis’ classic The Chronicles of Narnia series, with the film scheduled for released on Nov. 26 (Thanksgiving Day), 2026. The film will screen in IMAX theaters for two weeks and then be available exclusively on Netflix starting on Christmas Day.

If Charli does indeed appear in the movie, it would be directly in line with her stated ambitions of focusing her energy on acting and filmmaking. Last December it was announced that the singer had joined the cast of the upcoming film The Gallerist, directed by Cathy Yan and starring Natalie Portman and Jenna Ortega.
XCX is also producing The Moment, a film being produced by lauded indie studio A24 and based on her own idea. The Moment also marks the first project from Charli’s new production company, Studio365.
Viewers will see the pop star appear in Benito Skinner’s Overcompensating series, Gregg Araki’s upcoming thriller I Want Your Sex, Daniel Goldhaber’s Faces of Death remake and Julia Jackman’s 100 Nights of Hero graphic-novel adaptation.
