Charli XCX in 8 Movies?! Here’s Your Full Guide 🎬✨

Brat summer might be over, but Charli XCX isn’t slowing down — she’s swapping the rave for the big screen. Yep, the self-proclaimed 365 party girl is officially in her actress era, and she’s got eight films lined up (two of which she’s also producing). Pop star, producer, actress? She’s doing it all.

For anyone who’s seen her cheeky Letterboxd reviews or caught her on iconic soundtracks (The Fault in Our Stars, Barbie, Bottoms), this move into acting isn’t exactly a shock. But eight projects? Let’s break it down 👇


🎭 100 Nights of Hero

  • Closing film at this year’s Venice Film Festival

  • Fantasy period piece with Emma Corrin, Maika Monroe, and Felicity Jones

  • Charli plays Rosa, rocking medieval fits (velvet + gold necklace = slay)

  • Based on the queer-coded graphic novel remix of One Thousand and One Nights

💥 Sacrifice

  • Satirical action thriller by Romain Gavras (Athena)

  • Cast: Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Evans, Salma Hayek (!!)

  • Set at a chaotic celebrity charity event gone very wrong

  • Premiering at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)

🌸 Eruptcja

  • Also premiering at TIFF

  • Charli stars as a Brit who falls for a Polish florist (Lena Góra)

  • Lesbian romance with soft visuals + tender vibes

  • She even co-wrote the script with Jeremy O. Harris & director Pete Ohs

🩸 Faces of Death

  • Horror remake of the cult 1978 pseudo-doc

  • Co-stars Barbie Ferreira + Dacre Montgomery

  • Found-footage style, tackling online misinformation

  • Charli pops up in a supporting role — very Y2K-core

🔥 I Want Your Sex

  • Directed by cult legend Gregg Araki (Mysterious Skin)

  • Erotic thriller starring Olivia Wilde + Cooper Hoffman

  • Charli in the mix with Daveed Diggs, Johnny Knoxville & Margaret Cho

  • Definitely brat-coded chaos

🎨 The Gallerist

  • Directed by Cathy Yan (Birds of Prey)

  • Natalie Portman stars as an art dealer trying to sell… a corpse (yep)

  • Charli shares the screen with Jenna Ortega (!!), Sterling K Brown & Catherine Zeta-Jones

  • Miami Art Fair setting = messy, camp, iconic

🎤 The Moment (A24)

  • Mockumentary where Charli plays… a pop star prepping for her first headline tour (meta much?)

  • Produced by her own Studio 365

  • Cast includes Alexander Skarsgård, Rosanna Arquette & Jamie Demetriou

  • Expect Spinal Tap–style chaos meets brat energy

🩸 Untitled Takashi Miike Project

  • Yes, that Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer)

  • Plot still secret, but Charli is both starring and producing

  • Expect blood, chaos, and iconic styling


When can we watch?

  • Finished & premiering this year: 100 Nights of Hero (Venice), Sacrifice (TIFF), Eruptcja (TIFF)

  • Still in the works: Everything else, likely dropping 2026–2027

Charli going from “Von Dutch” to Venice Film Festival is the unexpected crossover we didn’t know we needed. Brat summer may be done, but welcome to the Brat Cinematic Universe™. 🍸🎥
