Adding to her burgeoning film career, she has already secured roles in upcoming projects including Romain Gavras’ film, Sacrifice, and Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex.
A Pre-existing Connection
This potential collaboration with Gerwig isn’t entirely new for Charli; one of her tracks, “Speed Drive,” was featured on the soundtrack for Gerwig’s blockbuster film Barbie, released in 2023. This connection may bode well for her prospects in the Narnia adaptation.
