November 6th 2024.
Charli XCX, known as a fashion icon and popstar, is now taking on a new challenge – acting. As the summer of being a "brat" comes to an end, she has set her sights on a completely different project – a high fantasy period drama with queer themes.
This upcoming film, 100 Nights of Hero, will mark Charli's first appearance in a full-length non-animated film, after previously lending her voice to the Angry Birds Movie. It's quite a leap for the talented artist, who recently wrapped up her Sweat tour with Troye Sivan. Unfortunately, fans in Europe will not get the chance to see them perform together due to conflicting schedules.
But it seems Charli has a good reason for her busy schedule – she's been filming for 100 Nights of Hero. In new photos, she can be seen wearing a regal crushed velvet dark green dress, a departure from her signature "brat" green. Completing her look is an embroidered green cape, a gold necklace, and a black belt with a gold sun detail.
According to IMDB, Charli will be playing the character of Rosa in the film, which is based on Isabel Greenberg's popular graphic novel. But she's not the only big name attached to the project – Nicholas Galitzine, known for his roles in "You" and "The Idea of You," will be playing the villainous Manfred.
Deadline reports that the story follows Cherry, played by Maika Monroe, who is married to Jerome but in love with her servant, Hero. When Manfred arrives at their remote castle, he makes a bet that he can seduce Cherry in 100 nights. But Cherry is not interested and, with the help of Hero, comes up with a plan to distract Manfred with tales of wonder.
The graphic novel is inspired by the folk tale One Thousand and One Nights, also known as Arabian Nights. This adds a unique and intriguing element to the film.
Charli's new role is a far cry from her "brat" persona, which she has been known for this summer. She has been making waves in the fashion world with her iconic "brat green" look and has even been announced as a headliner for Primavera 2025, alongside Renee Rapp and Chappell Roan.
In addition to her professional success, Charli also recently got engaged to fellow musician George Daniel, known for his work with The 1975. It truly has been an incredible year for her.
There is currently no release date for 100 Nights of Hero, and the role of Jerome has not yet been announced. But fans can't wait to see Charli in this exciting new project. Stay tuned for updates!
