Jon M. Chu Says Britney Spears Biopic Not Casting Yet Amid Reports of Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter and Millie Bobby Brown Battling for Role


Jon M. Chu says his Britney Spears movie biopic is not casting yet amid reports of Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter and Millie Bobby Brown being cast.

The “Wicked” director told fans on X that his movie is not even in the casting process yet as reports circulate claiming that Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter and Millie Bobby Brown are battling it out to play the iconic pop star on the big screen. In the book, Spears chronicled her journey to pop superstardom from her “Mickey Mouse Club” days through her highly-publicized and scrutinized conservatorship case. “Heart Eyes” star Olivia Holt has had her name thrown around on social media, and she told Variety earlier this year it “would be a dream” to play Spears, adding: “I would be so honored.”
