    Charli XCX May Play Jadis in Greta Gerwig’s Narnia Movie

    This just in-

    according to certain sources (*cough* Deadline *cough*) Grammy winner Charli XCX is a frontrunner for a very important role in Oscar winner Greta Gerwig‘s upcoming “Chronicles of Narnia” project for Netflix. First announced back in 2018, the “Barbie” director was announced as helming the film(s) in 2020.

    Things have been pretty quiet since then, but every so often, we get a nibble of news.

    Charli XCX is reportedly being looked at to play Jadis, the iconic White Witch who bribes Edmund to betray his siblings with hot chocolate and Turkish Delight. The role was last portrayed in live action by the ethereal Tilda Swinton in 2005’s “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.”

    Admittedly, our favorite version still remains the BBC mini series from 1988 with Barbara Kellerman as Jadis.

    Obviously this hasn’t been confirmed yet, but we’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.
