Charli XCX Eyed to Join Netflix's "Chronicles of Narnia"

Charli XCX is being eyed to join Greta Gerwig's film adaptation of the popular C.S. Lewis tales "Narnia".

The multiple Grammy winner is among the top choices for a key role: Jadis, The White Witch, and there have been talks for a little while, but nothing is set at the moment.

In 2018, Netflix announced it would develop new series and film projects based on Narnia and brought Gerwig on board in 2020 to adapt and direct.

While it remains in the early stages, and details are scant, the movie is getting an exclusive two-week Imax global run for Thanksgiving 2026 in advance of the pic’s drop on the streamer.

This is Gerwig’s follow-up to delivering Warner Bros its highest-grossing movie ever, "Barbie" ($1.44 billion), which also scored an Oscar win for Billie Eilish and Finneas’ original song “What Was I Made For?” Charli XCX’s song “Speed Drive” also was part of the film’s soundtrack.

It’s unclear whether there would be a musical component to any Narnia contribution from the singer-actress.

The Brit singer, who is coming off five Brit Award wins at the weekend, has been increasingly in-demand for film projects over the past 12 months and has ramped up her movie career quickly. Upcoming debut screen credits include Cathy Yan’s "The Gallerist" and Romain Gavras’ 'Sacrifice".
