Universal has finally found their Queen of Pop after an extensive casting search.
The biopic on Madonna will star Julia Garner (Ozark, Inventing Anna).
Garner, best known for her work on two major Netflix shows, beat out Florence Pugh (Little Women) and Bebe Rexha to land the role.
It's expected that Garner will accept the role, with performances like this turning out quite well for actors.
Madonna herself will direct the film, with Amy Pascal (Barbie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) producing.
It is unknown at this time what additional roles will be needed, a production schedule, and a release date.
The film will follow the early days of the music icon and her rise to stardom.
The audition process for the film was said to be grueling, and took quite some time to complete.

Alexa Demie
(
Euphoria

Odessa Young
(
Assassination Nation
), and
