Charli XCX Reportedly Considered for White Witch Role in Greta Gerwig’s Narnia Reboot

The pop star is being eyed for a key role in Netflix’s adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia, with the first film set to debut in late 2026.

Charli XCX is reportedly a top contender to play Jadis, The White Witch, in Greta Gerwig's upcoming Netflix adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia.
Preliminary talks about the casting have taken place, though no official deal has been made, and neither Netflix nor Charli XCX has commented on the speculation.
The White Witch, a central antagonist in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, is known for her mythical powers and manipulative nature, making the role a significant one in the franchise.
Greta Gerwig, known for her success with Barbie and Little Women, is set to direct at least two Narnia films, with the first scheduled for an IMAX release on Thanksgiving 2026 and streaming on Netflix by December.
This potential casting follows Charli XCX's growing presence in film, with recent roles in projects like The Gallerist and Sacrifice, as well as her contribution to the Barbie soundtrack.
