Brown, Zach Galifianakis , Daniel Brühl and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
The film follows a desperate gallerist who conspires to sell a dead body at Art Basel Miami, and is currently in pre-production and set to shoot at the end of this year. It follows last month’s news that XCX had joined the cast of Sacrifice , the English-language debut of French director Romain Gavras. She will star alongside Anya Taylor-Joy ( Furiosa ), Chris Evans ( Avengers: Endgame ), Vincent Cassel ( Black Swan ) and Ambika Mod ( One Day ).
Details of the artist’s role in the film, which was reportedly undergoing filming in Greece and Bulgaria last month, have not been confirmed. Of the other supporting cast members that were announced, one is Swedish rapper Yung Lean , who will be making his film debut – and was a collaborator with XCX alongside Robyn on the remix of her song ‘360’. XCX now has seven screen projects on the way, including Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex and graphic novel adaptation 100 Nights Of Hero , which is led by Emma Corrin ( Deadpool & Wolverine ) and Maika Monroe ( Longlegs ).

Her culture-dominating sixth record ‘ Brat ’ was released in June and has been named as the Album of the Year by NME .
“ ‘Brat’ as cultural sensation was a sight to behold, to be sure. But ‘Brat’ as an album – the record at the core of the rollout, the music beneath the marketing – is quite simply exceptional,” NME noted. “As a songwriter and lyricist, Charli has spent much of her career oscillating between the poles of unfuckwithable attitude and naked vulnerability.
‘Brat’ moves effortlessly along the scale, giving us bulletproof bangers that remain wrenchingly human. This album is not only peak Charli, but a new bar set for modern pop.” Charli XCX posing at Storm King Arts Center.
