Madonna biopic still pending, Julia Garner remains uncertain
Six years after its announcement, the Madonna biopic remains stalled, with Julia Garner still uncertain about the project.
The Madonna biopic, announced six years ago, still has no filming date. Chosen in 2022 to portray the pop queen, Julia Garner, known for her role as Ruth Langmore in Ozark, recently expressed her uncertainty on CBS Sunday Morning on November 8. "I don't know, it changes every hour," she explained, noting the decision is not up to her. She added that she admires Madonna and that the audition made her sing, dance and act without prior training. The project, originally slated for 2020 under Madonna's leadership and Universal Pictures, was suspended in 2023 because of the Celebration Tour and budget disagreements. According to AlloCiné, the singer finally sought a new production partner in May 2025 with producer Shawn L.
