Brat Summer has officially taken its bow, but Charli XCX? Oh honey, she’s just warming up—dropping beats so contagious, even Mercury in retrograde couldn’t slow her down. Now, the James Bond theme song legacy is a star-studded parade—Madonna, Adele, Sam Smith, to name a few. So, here’s the cosmic kicker: could Charli XCX be the next siren to lend her voice to 007’s iconic soundtrack? With a playlist that already boasts a Grammy hat-trick and a slick soundtrack for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, Charli’s no stranger to cinematic vibes. She even joked about teaming up with producer Barbara Broccoli—because why not mix a little Scorpio determination with some Bond mystique? And just as the gossip mill spins with rumors of Jacob Elordi suiting up as the next James Bond, I can’t help but wonder… are we on the cusp of a whole new era where astrological fate and pop stardom collide? Tighten your seatbelts, because this story’s got layers deeper than a Pisces moon’s daydream. LEARN MORE
Brat Summer might be in the rearview, but Charli xcx is just getting started making bangers worth shaking your moneymaker to. In the past, musical artists like Madonna, Adele, Sam Smith, Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, and more have contributed theme songs to the James Bond franchise; could Charli xcx be next in line?
Charli xcx is already entrenched in the motion picture soundtrack game after creating the soundtrack for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights. Charli xcx is a three-time Grammy winner, and adding a 007 theme song to her extensive list of achievements would be a nice feather in her cap.
In recent Hollywood news, Charli xcx starred in The Moment, a fictionalized deconstruction of Charli xcx’s Brat Summer. Our own Chris Bumbray reviewed the satirical documentary while attending this year’s Sundance Film Festival. You can check out his review here.
During an interview on The Julia Cunningham Show, Charli xcx commented on the idea of her composing the next 007 theme song for Denis Villeneuve’s anticipated James Bond film, saying, “I got to say, I don’t think that I am built for that,” said Charli on SiriusXM’s The Julia Cunningham Show. “I think I probably sing with too much AutoTune to do a James Bond. Never say never. I’m open to it if they want to call me, which they won’t but, yeah. I think it might not be a fit, but that’s, well, yeah. It’s not going to happen now, is it? So amazing. I don’t know.”
“Barbara, call me,” Charli xcx joked about hooking up with producer Barbara Broccoli for the gig.
Recently, rumors that Wuthering Heights star Jacob Elordi will be the next James Bond are circulating. Chatter about Elordi taking on the iconic role has circulated for months. Still, fresh whispers about him meeting with Villeneuve and Amazon MGM Studios have people thinking he could become the youngest actor to play 007 in the franchise’s history. In his report for Showbiz 411, Roger Friedman says Amazon desperately wants Elordi to be the next Bond, though no formal offer has transpired. Even if Amazon has Elordi in its sights, he’d still need to screen test for the role, but I’ve no doubt he’d nail the audition. Additionally, as much as Amazon may want Elordi for the role, Villeneuve still gets to weigh in on whose martini gets shaken, not stirred.
What do you think about Charli xcx possibly composing the next 007 theme song? Is the lineage of the James Bond theme important to you? Is she worthy of the honor? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
