PinkPantheress to Make Acting Debut in Untitled Daniels Film

PinkPantheress has been cast in her first feature film role, joining the untitled new project from Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. The Oscar-winning directors behind Everything Everywhere All at Once are keeping details sparse, but Deadline reports that the British singer will appear alongside Matt Damon and Sandra Oh. It’s a move that extends a natural visual fluency—her interviews already circulate as clipped moments of charisma, and the video for recent single “Girl Like Me” shares some of the glitzy, fast-paced energy that defines the Daniels’ work.

The film, set for a November 2027 theatrical release through Universal, assembles a cast that also includes Charles Melton, Sean Kaufman, Silvia Dionicio, Jackson Kelly, Kerrice Brooks, Thalia Dudek, and Michael Gandolfini. There’s no word yet on the size or nature of PinkPantheress’s role, but the pairing arrives as her profile keeps rising. This year brought two Grammy nominations—Best Dance Pop Recording for “Illegal” and Best Dance/Electronic Album for Fancy That—plus a BRIT Award for Producer of the Year, making her the youngest and first woman to take that prize.

The album Fancy That and its remix edition Fancy Some More? landed in 2025, cementing a sound built on sharp hooks and diaristic intimacy. That same instinct for direct, memorable presence translates easily to screen, and for a directing duo drawn to controlled chaos and emotional precision, her casting feels less like a crossover gimmick than a deliberate fit.
