Officially, a biopic on Britney Spears is being developed. So who would play the legendary pop star in a big-screen production?
The bestselling 2023 memoir The Woman in Me by Britney Spears was acquired by Universal Pictures on August 1. Jon M. Chu, the filmmaker of Wicked, will helm the movie, while Marc Platt will serve as producer.
«I’m thrilled to let my fans know that #MarcPlatt and I have been working on a top-secret project. He’s always directed some of my best films. Following the news, Spears, 42, commented in a post on X, «stay tuned.»
When members of the «Britney Army» started arguing over who should play the Disney Channel actress-turned-musician Sabrina Carpenter, her name was among the first that many fans thought of.
Despite having less of a musical taste than some of the other celebrities on our list, Sydney Sweeney, 26, won over many fans with her striking resemblance to Britney Spears in terms of appearance and her acting prowess during The Woman in Me’s more dramatic scenes.
Bella Thorne, 26, is well-known for her work alongside Zendaya on Disney Channel’s Shake It Up and for a number of recent independent films. Her blonde appearance and her open social media posts have drawn comparisons to Britney Spears.
Because of her experience in acting, music, and dance, some fans believed that Dove Cameron, another former Disney Channel star, would be a natural fit for the role of Spears.
The 26-year-old Elle Fanning is well-known from her numerous A-list acting performances over the years, such as The Great on Hulu. In 2022, she dressed for Halloween as Britney Spears.
Although many fans believe Florence Pugh, 28, has the acting talent to play Britney Spears, as seen by her appearances in Oppenheimer, Midsommar, Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, and her superhero debut Black Widow, she is more of a wildcard choice for the casting shortlist.
Grace Van Dien, 27, is another Stranger Things alum. Because of their similar blonde looks, she has been mentioned as a possible actress for the Spears biopic. Her TV and Netflix credits include the teen drama Greenhouse Academy, the role of Sharon Tate in Charlie Says, and the NBC series The Village.
Madelyn Cline is another contender for the role of Spears. The 26-year-old has gained notoriety for her performances as the humorous influencer Whiskey in the Knives Out sequel Glass Onion and as Sarah Cameron in the Netflix teen drama series Outer Banks.
