Madonna’s Biopic: Is Julia Garner Still in the Running or Just on Hold?

Julia Garner isn’t ready to bid farewell to her Madonna dreams just yet, despite the biopic project hitting a bit of a snag this year. While catching up with the hosts of the SmartLess podcast, she expressed her continuing confidence that the long-anticipated film is indeed still brewing. Originally announced back in 2020, the project has faced multiple delays, mostly as Madonna has taken a break from filming to tour the world. It sounds like every aspiring director’s worst nightmare!

Fans of both Madonna and Garner will appreciate her deep admiration for the pop icon, stating, “Oh my God! I was such a fan of Madonna’s.” She even revealed how she had to impress Madonna during auditions to prove she could dance and sing. Picture that high-pressure situation: Garner had to channel her inner Madonna, bending it like Beckham, but with 80s pop flair. How many of us could pull that off? Probably none!

As if one biopic isn’t enough, there’s speculation of a possible Netflix series that could capture the Queen of Pop’s life more comprehensively. Madonna’s been putting out feelers, asking fans what they’d prefer – a feature film or a series? It’s like a survey on your favorite ice cream flavor, but with a side of cultural significance. So whether it’s a film or a series, fans of both Madonna and Garner will have plenty of drama to look forward to—let’s just hope it all gets rolling soon!

What role would you want to play in a biopic of your favorite celebrity? Let’s get creative!
