Julia Garner offered to play Madonna in a biopic
The biopic has been put up at Universal and will explore Madonna’s early years. Julia Garner, best known for her breakout roles in “Ozark” and “Inventing Anna,” has apparently been offered the lead part in Madonna’s upcoming biography. According to Variety, who cited a source, Garner has emerged as the favorite among over a dozen candidates for the part, which will be directed by Madonna herself. According to the report, Garner’s team is reviewing the offer and is anticipated to accept it.
The biopic has been put up at Universal and will trace Madonna’s early years in her illustrious career. In a multi-studio bidding war, Universal Filmed Entertainment Group head Donna Langley won the script, and Amy Pascal is involved as a producer. Florence Pugh, Alexa Demie, and Odessa Young are among the other actors vying for the part. Bebe Rexha and Sky Ferreira have also been mentioned as possible candidates. Madonna intends to “convey the tremendous journey that life” has taken her on as an artist, musician, dancer, and human being through the film.
“The focus of this film will always be music. Music has kept me going and art has kept me alive. There are so many untold and inspiring stories and who better to tell it than me. It’s essential to share the roller coaster ride of my life with my voice and vision,” the pop star said during the announcement of the film.
There are currently no other specifics, such as an official title, filming dates, or other cast members, but the film will be distributed by Universal Pictures, most likely in 2023.
