In what appears to be our most official casting rumour so far, Deadline is reporting British pop-star Charlie XCX is “among top choices for a key role and there have been talks for a little while, but nothing is set at the moment. TBC whether a deal comes to fruition.”

Well..... I know the same amount about her as Mikey Madison, which is absolutely nothing. At least Charlie XCX is British.
I will also add that Lady Gaga has had a pretty good run as an actress as well as a singer, so asking a singer to play a role doesn't immediately cause me to run away screaming.
If all of these rumors are true (Mikey and Charlie and Daisy), they're definitely aiming for a much younger White Witch, and I find that fascinating.

Question is, if you go younger for Jadis, do you also have to go younger for Uncle Andrew?
I can't imagine it would be a good look to have a grey-haired old man infatuated with a 25-32 year old.woman. it would just be weird and creepy in all the wrong ways.

Everything about this production has been unexpected—Greta Gerwig’s involvement, the decision to adapt The Magician’s Nephew first, and even Netflix breaking its entire theatrical release strategy. So, in a way, Charli XCX being in talks for a role feels pretty on-brand for Netflix’s Narnia. I’ve been very encouraged by what we've heard of the production thus far, so I will reserve judgment on Charli’s (possible) casting.

I don't know 'this young person' at all. What is her professional training and experience, acting, singing, dancing, magic tricks?
How tall is she, and can she play 6 feet tall ? Can she play Jadis for both films?
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

Id genuinely be surprised for anyone to have not heard at least one of her songs in a sort of "oh yeah, I know that tune" from a film, or an advert, or just off the radio or whatever, but I would also say that even though she had one of the biggest selling albums of last year (and one of the biggest memes of the year to boot), she perhaps hasn't yet had that same sort of mainstream breakout as say Taylor Swift?
Maybe that's an unfair comparison to make, but I guess what I mean is that she isn't a nobody, but maybe not quite a universal household name either?
