Charli XCX's upcoming mockumentary 'The Moment' is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about releases of early 2026. Set to debut on 30th January 2026, the film features the singer playing an exaggerated version of herself, supported by an eclectic ensemble that includes Rachel Sennott, Jamie Demetriou, Hailey Benton Gates, and Kylie Jenner.

Among the standout additions to the cast, however, is Alexander Skarsgård, whose presence adds even more buzz to the project.

Alexander Skarsgård's Upcoming Gothic Horror

But Skarsgård’s slate for 2026 doesn't stop at comedy. A recent report confirmed that the Swedish actor will lead the upcoming gothic horror feature 'The Wolf Will Tear Your Immaculate Hands,' marking the first English-language film from Swedish-Costa Rican writer-director Nathalie Álvarez Mesén. While his brother Bill Skarsgård is well known for iconic horror roles—from Pennywise in 'IT' to Count Orlok in 2024's 'Nosferatu'—Alexander now steps into a dark, atmospheric genre piece that is expected to challenge him creatively.

The filmmaker described the new project as an expansion of the intimate character-driven style she established with her acclaimed 2021 drama 'Clara Sola.' She noted that this next film pushes her approach into a more haunting, magic-realist period setting.

Nathalie Álvarez Mesén expressed deep appreciation for her cast, emphasising how openly and generously they embraced their roles. She highlighted Darla Contois for bringing raw emotional depth to the character of Isabel, and praised Alexander Skarsgård for delivering a grounded and volatile interpretation of the father at the centre of the story. Mesén said she is eager for audiences to experience the final film.
