Charli XCX and Yung Lean Join Cast of Sacrifice
In an exciting development for film enthusiasts, Charli XCX and Yung Lean have been added to the ensemble cast of the upcoming movie Sacrifice, as reported by Deadline. The film is directed by Romain Gavras and features a star-studded lineup, including Chris Evans, Anya Taylor-Joy, Salma Hayek, Sam Richardson, Vincent Cassel, John Malkovich, Ambika Mod, Jade Croot, Jeremy O. Harris, and Miriam Silverman. The production is currently taking place in Greece and Bulgaria.
Yung Lean, known for his unique contribution to the music scene and the subject of the 2020 documentary Yung Lean: In My Head, is set to make his feature film debut in Sacrifice. The artist recently released his collaborative album Psykos alongside Bladee in March, further showcasing his artistic versatility.

Besides her role in Sacrifice, she is also expected to appear in films such as Faces of Death, I Want Your Sex, Erupcja, 100 Nights of Hero, and Overcompensating. Additionally, she is slated to appear as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live in the coming weeks.
Sacrifice marks Romain Gavras’s first venture into English-language cinema. Gavras has made a name for himself by directing visually stunning music videos for prestigious artists, including Jamie xx, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and M.I.A., demonstrating his flair for blending strong imagery with compelling narratives.
As Charli XCX continues to branch into new artistic domains, her recent album BRAT, which features the song “360 Featuring Robyn & Yung Lean,” highlights her ongoing evolution as an artist. The album has received attention and positive reviews, resonating with fans and critics alike.
