Charli XCX<\/a> is reportedly being considered to play the White Witch in Greta Gerwig<\/a>\u2018s upcoming Chronicles of Narnia film for Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While it seems the news isn’t official yet, Deadline<\/a> has reported that the Grammy-award-winning artist has been in serious talks with the streaming giant to take on the role of the iconic villain. <\/p>\n

To the delight of C.S. Lewis fans everywhere, Netflix announced in 2018 that it was preparing to develop a new series and film projects based on \u00a0The Chronicles of Narnia\u00a0series. <\/p>\n

In 2020, Little Women director Greta Gerwig joined the project to adapt and direct the beloved children classics. <\/p>\n

The only details that have been reported thus far is that the film will recevie an\u00a0exclusive two-week Imax\u00a0global run\u00a0for Thanksgiving 2026 before coming to Netflix.<\/p>\n

This is Gerwig\u2019s first film since directing Barbie<\/a> for Warner Bros., which became the studio’s highest-grossing movie of all time. <\/p>\n

Charli XCX and Gerwig worked together on that project as well, at least in theory, as the singer’s song Speed Drive was part of the film\u2019s soundtrack.<\/p>\n

They both also featured in an Uber Eats Super Bowl advert\u00a0alongside Matthew McConaughey, Kevin Bacon, Sean Evans, and Martha Stewart, so have presumably spent some time together. <\/p>\n

It’s been a big year for Charli, who won five Brit Award wins at the weekend.<\/p>\n

She’s also forayed into acting, with her upcoming debut screen credits including Cathy Yan\u2019s The Gallerist, Romain Gavras\u2019 Sacrifice, and Gregg Araki\u2019s I Want Your Sex.<\/p>\n

Charli was also announced as a performer for Glastonbury 2025 earlier today, joining the likes of\u00a0Olivia Rodrigo<\/a>\u00a0in Sunday\u2019s closing slot and The 1975<\/a>\u00a0headlining Friday\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

Neil Young<\/a>\u00a0is the Saturday headliner and\u00a0Sir Rod Stewart<\/a>\u00a0is this year\u2019s Sunday Legend.<\/p>\n

Charli is on the lineup for Saturday, confirmed to be headlining the Other Stage by Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac\u2019s Sidetracked podcast after taking over Levels last year.<\/p>\n

Jadis the White Witch is perhaps the most iconic villain in the Chronicles of Narnia series, and was previously played by Tilda Swinton in the 2005 Walt Disney Pictures feature film adaptation. <\/p>\n
