Charli XCX will star alongside Olivia Wilde in a new erotic thriller titled I Want Your Sex.
The movie is being directed by queer filmmaker Gregg Araki – known for films including The Doom Generation starring Rose McGowan.
It comes as the 32-year-old pop star – real name Charlotte Emma Aitchison – is enjoying a new wave of success thanks to her sixth studio album Brat.
The success of the album has seen XCX’s star drastically rise from underground pop darling to a mainstream artist – despite having previously scored hits such as Fancy with Iggy Azalea.
