Madonna Offered The Role of ‘Madonna’ To This OZARK Star!
Reports are swirling that Ozark star Julia Garner, who played Ruth Langmore, has been offered the role to play the Material Girl in the biopic to be directed by Madonna herself.
“Inventing Anna” actress Julia Garner has been offered the role of Madonna in a forthcoming biopic about the pop icon, sources familiar with the project told Variety.
Garner has emerged the favorite from over a dozen candidates, one insider added, and has for months been speculated as a frontrunner for the part — a performance Madonna will shepherd herself as director. Garner’s team is considering and expected to accept the offer, said another source.
The film is set up at Universal Pictures, and will follow the early days of the oft-controversial artist and queen of perpetual reinvention. Universal Filmed Entertainment Group chairman Donna Langley won the script in a multi-studio bidding war, and Amy Pascal is attached as a producer.
Julie Garner was said to be chosen over the likes of Florence Pugh, Bebe Rexha, and Euphoria star Alexa Demie. I’m a big fan of her chameleon like voice that she adapts so well to every part she plays. Keep the volume low if you watch this clip of Julia, it has words that are NSFW without headphones!
