Fresh off placing Hollywood legend Martin Scorsese on the cover of her album Music, Fashion, Film, Charli XCX is taking their partnership to the big screen. According to a report by Variety, the multi-hyphenate pop star has secured a cameo role in Scorsese’s highly anticipated gothic horror film, What Happens at Night.

The psychological thriller stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as a couple who unravel while staying at an eerie, snow-covered European hotel. Charli joins a stacked ensemble cast that already features Mads Mikkelsen, Patricia Clarkson, and Jared Harris. Principal photography quietly kicked off in Europe earlier this year.

This cameo marks another massive milestone in Charli's rapidly expanding acting era. With major roles already lined up in I Want Your Sex and a Takashi Miike horror project, she is proving she is just as formidable on the silver screen as she is on the charts.
