‘Ozark’ Star’s Madonna Biopic Finally Gets an Update
Julia Garner says the status of the Madonna biopic changes frequently, leaving its prospects uncertain. The update matters because the film, announced in 2020 and once set to be written and directed by Madonna, has been stalled since Universal shelved it early last year.
Garner remains attached to play Madonna and said she would like the film to be made, while stressing that the decision is not hers. She also said she had made a great friend in Madonna; a year earlier, Garner had said the project was still supposed to happen. The article places the update amid renewed interest in music biopics following the reported $1 billion theatrical success of Michael.
In short

Explained simply
Madonna is an American singer and songwriter whose career has spanned decades, with hits including “Like a Virgin” and “Vogue”. Her life and music have inspired a planned biographical film, with actor Julia Garner, known for the series Ozark, attached to play her.
Madonna was originally set to write and direct the film, announced in 2020. Universal later shelved the project, leaving its future uncertain. The film has drawn interest as music biopics have returned to prominence, including a reported major box-office success for a film about Michael Jackson.
