Is the universe conspiring to finally see Madonna’s life up close and personal on the silver screen? Honestly, after the biopic’s rollercoaster development—announced with such fanfare and then seemingly tossed aside like yesterday’s pop hits—you’d think the stars themselves had to realign before the story could continue. Well, guess what? Julia Garner, who’s currently dazzling audiences as the Silver Surfer in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, just spilled the tea on the SmartLess podcast: the Madonna biopic is still very much on the table. Now, here’s the kicker—Garner, a bona fide Madonna devotee, had to convince the queen herself that she could sing and dance her way into this iconic role. Talk about Mercury in retrograde vibes—intense rehearsals, nerves, and a sparkle of “Can I pull this off?” But hey, if there’s one thing Madonna and the cosmos teach us, great things take their sweet time—and sometimes, you just gotta own the room like a Venus rising. Intrigued? Dive deeper into the scoop here: LEARN MORE.
The Madonna biopic—originally set to be written and directed by the pop icon herself—had been in development for quite some time before reports emerged that it had been scrapped. However, Madonna hinted at a potential revival last year, revealing that the script was undergoing rewrites. Now, star Julia Garner has confirmed that the Madonna biopic is still moving forward.
“That’s supposed to still happen,” Garner said on the SmartLess podcast. “Anything that’s great… I feel like it takes a long time.”
The Fantastic Four actress added that she is “such a fan of Madonna” after growing up listening to the pop star. When she was told that they were making a Madonna biopic, she knew she had to audition. The process was particularly intense, especially as she had to sing and dance in front of Madonna herself. “I kind of just wanted to see if I could do it,” Garner explained, “because I wasn’t a trained dancer and I had to learn how to dance and then dance in front of her and convince her that I can dance, basically, and sing. And sing with her!“
Garner added that she tried to channel Madonna going into the audition. “OK, what would Madonna do? Which is convince you that she deserves, you know, to be in this room, and I owned it,” she said. “I was kind of like, ‘You can take it or leave it, but if you leave it, if I leave, then that’s on you.’“
Garner currently stars alongside Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. She plays Shalla-Bal / Silver Surfer, the herald of Galactus (Ralph Ineson). Our own Chris Bumbray said that The Fantastic Four: First Steps surprised him. “I’ve been burned out on both Marvel and superhero films in general, but this one got me to care again,” he wrote, adding that creatively, “it’s the best Marvel movie in a long time.” You can check out the rest of his review right here, and don’t forget to let us know what you thought of the film as well!
