Yesterday, I mentioned how Charli XCX was cast in Daniel Goldhaber’s next film, this one set in the German rave scene. Well, she’s now also attached to another film, this one way bigger than any production she was previously a part of.
Here’s a report from Deadline that has Charli XCX starring in Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia.’ She would be the first official actor to join the cast. The role being eyed for her to play is that of Jadis, The White Witch.
The trades had previously namchecked Natalie Portman, and Mikey Madison as possibilities to star in ‘Narnia.’ Saoirse Ronan is also potentially involved in an undisclosed role. Auditions are also currently underway to cast two 11-12 year olds in the lead roles.
Charli XCX, an ultra-popular singer-songwriter, only recently made her move to acting, she’s already shot four films, three of them set for 2025 premieres: Greg Araki’s “I Want Your Sex,” Cathy Yan’s “The Gallerist” and Romain Gavras’ “Sacrifice.” The other one, Goldhaber’s “Faces of Death,” is in distribution limbo.
