Charli XCX has confirmed the cast for her forthcoming film, The Moment.
Among the cast members confirmed are American comedians Kate Berlant and Rachel Sennott, influencer and businesswoman Kylie Jenner—making her feature film debut—and more, all of whom have been locked in by the British musician and Glaswegian director and photographer, Aidan Zamiri, with the support of the production house A24.
The Moment is based on an original idea by Charli, and the film was written by Zamiri and Bertie Brandes. Charli also stars in the movie, which, according to Deadline, “follows a rising pop star as she navigates the complexities of fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena-tour debut.”
Along with the cast mentioned above, the film will also star Alexander Skarsgård (The Northman, True Blood, Succession), Rosanna Arquette (Desperately Seeking Susan), Jamie Demetriou (Fleabag, Staths Lets Flats), Arielle Dombasle (Pauline At The Beach), Hailey Benton Gates (States Of Undress), Trew Mullen (Blink Twice), and others, plus Charli’s music collaborators, Shygirl and A.G. Cook.
Cook will also provide original music for the film, which is set to arrive in 2026. Charli has shared a teaser about The Moment on social media, but viewers should be warned of the use of strobes. You can watch the teaser below.
As Deadline notes, Charli will produce The Moment under her Studio365 label with 2 AM’s David Hinojosa. Executive producers include Brandon Creed, Mikey Schwartz-Wright and Zach Nutman.

Earlier this year, Charli made her on-screen debut in two feature films: Erupcja and 100 Nights Of Hero.
Bringing brat Summer Down Under, Charli XCX was this year’s headliner of Laneway Festival in Australia and New Zealand. She was joined by big-name artists including beabadoobee, Clairo, Remi Wolf, and Djo.
The singer has recently made headlines after Taylor Swift received criticism for allegedly targeting Charli in her new song, Actually Romantic.
Weighing into the drama, Ben Lee said, “The main lesson that you can learn from this incident is that if you’re gonna take a shot at the queen, you better not miss… I think at the end of the day, Charli XCX – and I think Taylor knows this – Charli is a more relevant cultural force. She just is.”
