## Summary

Julia Garner says the status of the long-delayed Madonna biopic changes “every hour”, leaving its future uncertain. Garner would still like the film to be made and says working on it brought her a friendship with Madonna, whom she admires.

The project was announced in 2020 and was reported scrapped in 2023, when it was put on indefinite pause at Universal Pictures. Garner was chosen for the lead in 2022 after a singing and dancing boot camp; Madonna was set to direct, and scripts were written by Diablo Cody and Cressida Wilson. Garner said in July 2025 that she was still expected to star.
