- Reported that Charli XCX is in talks about taking a major role
- Charli XCX has also been confirmed as a headliner at the Glastonbury Festival
- Charli XCX also won five Brit Awards last week
Charli XCX is having a good week – not only is she headlining the Glastonbury Festival, she is also rumored to be in talks to star in the Narnia movie.
Deadline revealed that the singer has been in talks for some time about the movie, which will be in IMAX theaters before dropping on Netflix. It is thought Charli XCX is being lined up for the role of Jadis, The White Witch.
However, neither Netflix nor Charli XCX’s representatives were willing to confirm or deny the rumors.
However, these rumors should not be too much of a surprise for fans of the singer. Charli XCX has been developing her movie career in the past year or so alongside her singing career going stratospheric. In the coming months, she is set to appear in three movies: The Gallerist, Sacrifice and I Want Your Sex.
Chronicles of Narnia rumors
The Chronicles of Narnia movie is being written and directed by Greta Gerwig, her first project since her huge success with Barbie in 2023 – that year’s highest grossing movie at the global box office.
The rumor of Charli XCX’s involvement is one of the first about casting. Thus far, Louis Partridge – best known for his role in Enola Holmes – is so far the only name we have, although we don’t know which role he will be playing. However, now this rumor is out, there are sure to be more to follow as production ramps up.
The Chronicles of Narnia movie will be released in 1,000 IMAX screens on November 26, 2026 – Thanksgiving Day – the movie will then drop on Netflix on Christmas Day 2026. Here is all we know about the Chronicles of Narnia movie.
Big week for Charli XCX
This news comes at the end of a big week for Charli XCX. Last weekend, the star picked up five Brit Awards in the UK off the back of her summer-defining album, Brat. These were her first Brit Awards – she had been nominated four times in the past.
Earlier this week, Charli XCX was confirmed as a headliner for this year’s Glastonbury Festival, which will be held in Somerset in England in June. The line-up, which also includes acts such as Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young and The 1975, has received a mixed reaction from fans – but then it always does.
