The Princess of Pop’s eye-opening 2023 memoir The Girl in Me has formally been within the works to be translated onto the large display screen. For the reason that announcement, it’s supplied a buzzing rumor mill, together with who will tackle the coveted tiara. The entire undertaking continues to be early sufficient in growth that not a lot is really hammered out, besides that Jon M. Chu is confirmed to direct the Spears biopic (confirmed by Britney Spears herself). Nonetheless, loads of tales have reported that starlets are vying for the lead BTS, together with Sabrina Carpenter and Millie Bobby Brown, however Chu has weighed in with the official phrase about who might play the pop icon.
As Chu gears up for the approaching launch of Depraved: For Good later this yr, he’s been busy with a number of pre-production initiatives, together with Loopy Wealthy Asians 2 and Joseph and the Superb Technicolor Dreamcoat. Together with it, seemingly smashing down the alleged headlines, Buzzing Pop’s X account posted about Sabrina Carpenter, Millie Bobby Brown and even Ariana Grande battling for the biopic. The Within the Heights director plainly acknowledged all of the claims have been cool concepts however false and aren’t even at a stage the place they’re prepared to carry auditions. He shared:

I’m glad to listen to that we will all breathe simple, for now, and that there aren’t any actresses at ends of any form to land the extremely anticipated movie. Certainly, manufacturing will take their time with a title this massive and nail all the best particulars.

Like Chu’s response, the concept of these three as potential picks to select up the notorious python the place she left off would make for an thrilling film.
Many different speculations have entered the discourse, together with fan picks. The potential Britney Spears possibles lists embody Florence Pugh, Emma Roberts, Olivia Holt, Tate McRae, Sydney Sweeney, Addison Rae and Elle Fanning (together with the aforementioned trio).
I can see why Sabrina Carpenter, aka the queen of Brinacore’s title, has been thrown round–she is a (extremely in style pop) singer and has a good appearing background, like Spears. Millie Bobby Brown’s likelihood is equally as recognizable–starring in a number of dynamic 2025 Netflix schedule titles, together with the approaching Stranger Issues S5 and the tremendous blonde hairdo doesn’t damage. I don’t see Ariana Grande’s probabilities being larger than the earlier two, though Chu is drastically accustomed to the Everlasting Sunshine artist resulting from their time on Depraved collectively. I believe it’s secure to say that the probabilities are nonetheless broad open for anybody attempting to pursue the long run pop biopic.
For now, we’ll simply must take Chu’s phrase for it and benefit from the initiatives he has coming down the pipe! There’s little doubt that when the actress is publicly introduced for the Spears undertaking, all of the battling buzz
