Charli XCX in Talks for Narnia Role

Pop star Charli XCX is reportedly in talks with filmmaker Greta Gerwig to play Jadis, The White Witch, in an upcoming adaptation of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' for Netflix. Although nothing has been finalized, Charli XCX is among the top choices for this role, which was previously portrayed by Tilda Swinton in the 2005 film. Netflix acquired the rights to all seven Narnia novels in 2018 and plans to release the first film in 2025, directed by Gerwig, who is fresh off the success of 'Barbie.' Charli XCX, known for her recent five Brit Award wins, is transitioning into film with several upcoming projects, including roles in films by Cathy Yan and Gregg Araki. Both Netflix and Charli XCX have not commented on these casting reports, but her potential involvement is generating significant interest.
