Will Madonna see the light of day after being canceled? If the success of King Richard, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Blonde has taught us anything, it is that biopics are all the rave today. Julia Garner was also excited when given the opportunity to star as the lead in a biopic made on Madonna. But like many huge projects that halt, this biopic also faced a similar fate.

The news of the movie being made initially brought waves of excitement to the singer’s huge fan base. But due to internal reasons, they will have to wait for an indefinite period. While this must have disheartened Garner, the actress sounded hopeful when questioned about the movie’s fate.

The Inventing Anna actress was one of the many people that dazzled at the Vanity Fair Oscars party this year. During the ceremony, ET representative caught up to her and asked whether she was considering whether the actress still had hopes of the biopic ever happening. The actress replied by saying how she hopes it will eventually happen. But she also added about not wanting to tell too much. “I want to keep things…yeah, fingers crossed,” she held back from revealing more about it.

There were several speculations for the halt including the singer herself. One of the reasons was the difference in opinions between the Queen of Pop and Universal Studios. She herself was to direct the movie. Now, Garner had secured this role after competing over it with heavyweights like Sydney Sweeney, Florence Pugh, and Sky Ferreira. But only the actress knows best about the actual reason behind this unpredictable halt.

What could the Madonna biopic would have been about?

The singer has been known for her bold and brave style that changed the way we deemed female artists. The ultra-feminist and ‘La Isla Bonita’ hitmaker would give sold-out shows during her tours around the world. Even in the present day, she is busy touring and filling the stages around the world after deciding to come back from a break. Garner, on the other hand, is busy with projects like Outlast, MH370, The Night Agent, etc.
