Julia Garner confirmed some exciting career news today.
On Wednesday, the actress confirmed in an interview with W Magazine that she is set to play Madonna in an upcoming biopic about the queen of pop.
"I can't say too much about, but yes, it's a work in progress," confirmed the 31-year-old actress.
In January 2023, it was reported that the biopic at Universal Pictures was scrapped. Madonna was set to direct the limited series about her life and career, and the script was going to be written by Diablo Cody and Erin Cressida Wilson. But a year and a half later, in July 2024, Madonna teased that she was working on the script again.
After confirming she was playing the "Hung Up" singer, a W Magazine producer asked Garner what her favorite Madonna song was.
"I love 'Borderline,' that's probably my favorite," the Inventing Anna star said, referring to the hit song that came out in 1983. She also listed many of her other favorites, including "Papa Don't Preach," "Burning Up," "Vogue" and "Ray of Light." She also revealed she "basically grew up" listening to Madonna's 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor.
