Pop artist Charli xcx has secured a cameo role in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming European-set drama What Happens At Night, rounding out a packed year of acting projects following her post-Brat era, avclub.com reported.
What Happens At Night Brings A European Cast Together
Scorsese’s upcoming feature stars Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio as an American couple traveling to Europe to adopt a child. As the couple struggles to claim the child, the narrative forces them into deep self-reflection where they ultimately realize how little they know about themselves. The synopsis outlines a psychological journey through an unfamiliar landscape.

His mission in film restoration is very inspiring. I mean, he’s also Martin Scorsese. Do you know what I mean?” pic.twitter.com/nS7egAqS9S
Charli xcx joins an ensemble cast that features Mads Mikkelsen, Patricia Clarkson, and Jared Harris. While specific character details remain tightly under wraps, industry observers anticipate that the British pop star will portray a European character. The project marks Scorsese’s first narrative feature since his Best Picture-nominated Killers Of The Flower Moon, and notably his first cinematic venture since publicly throwing his backing behind a controversial artificial intelligence product.
