Good news: Greta Gerwig is locking into another directorial role, following her knock-out success with 2023’s Barbie, starring Aussie angel, Margot Robbie. This time, an oldie but a goodie is about to be met with Greta’s movie magic… we can’t wait to see what she has planned for a new Narnia film.
Although little has been announced about the movie and its cast, some conspiracies are floating around that a certain brat is being eyed for a wonderfully witchy role.
So—is Charli XCX about to become a 365 movie girl?
We investigate below.
Who's Rumoured To Be In the Cast Of Narnia?
Thus far, there have been a few big names rumoured to be attached to the new movie’s chronicle-esque cast. The OG film follows the story of several children in their pre-teens, so chances are the roles may be portrayed by actors we haven’t seen on screen yet!
As for the adult characters, according to Deadline, there is speculation that Charli XCX could be taking on the role of Jadis, the White Witch.
Despite this, there have also been whispers that Geta might team up with the immensely talented American-born Irish actress, Saoirse Ronan again—a regular her projects.
Until an official cast list is announced, we’ll just have to keep wondering *witch* woman will snag the role.
On another note, a different casting rumour had been circulating that Louis Partridge—doting boyfriend to Olivia Rodrigo—had secured himself a coveted role in the film, according to TOI. However, shortly after the news was reported, Netflix shut down the rumours, so we’re back in the dark unfortunately.
Does Charli XCX Have Any Previous Acting Experience?
Despite her obvious talent on the mic, Charli has been known to dabble in the acting field, having made an appearance in an episode of HBO’s Gossip Girl reboot.
However, the “Guess” singer doesn’t come to play when she sets her sights on a new passion. As per her lively IMDb profile, little miss brat is booked and busy, set to star in several projects over this next year, including a role alongside Olivia Wilde in the exciting new film, I Want Your Sex.
