Millie Bobby Brown Responds To Britney Spears Biopic Casting Rumours

Millie Bobby Brown has responded to ongoing reports in the media suggesting she could play Britney Spears in a biopic about the pop superstar.

In 2022, the Stranger Things actor claimed that portraying Britney in a film would be her “dream role”.

She told Britney’s friend Drew Barrymore: “I don’t know her, but when I look at pictures of her, I feel like I could tell her story in the right way – and hers only.”

Earlier this year, Wicked director Jon M Chu confirmed that he was adapting Britney’s 2023 memoir The Woman In Me for the big screen, which has led to speculation that Millie could take on the lead role.

Asked about the rumours during an interview on Capital, Millie responded: “I don’t know, I’ve not been…”

“Obviously, I know that everybody is creating their own narrative,” she continued, with host Jimmy Hill claiming that fans “want it to happen”.

Millie then responded: “I respect that, I love that.

“I think that, you know, everything is in the talks, but for me personally I, you know… If it’s done basically with or without me, I’m so, so, so excited for it, and I think it’s going to be a brilliant story with a brilliant core, which is, you know, Britney.”
