Julia Garner was reportedly cast<\/a> for the role after long a rigorous audition process against the likes of Florence Pugh, Alexa Demie, Odessa Young, Emma Laired and singers Bebe Rexha and Sky Ferreira. The biopic was set to revolve around Madonna’s famous 1990 Blonde Ambition tour, telling reporters in a statement she hoped it could, \u201cconvey the incredible journey that life has taken me on as an artist, a musician, a dancer \u2014 a human being, trying to make her way in this world.”<\/p>\n

Representatives for all parties involved have declined to comment however Madonna hopes to revisit a film about her life in the future. \u201cI\u2019ve had an extraordinary life, I must make an extraordinary film,\u201d the artist said last July, per the NY Post<\/a><\/em>. \u201cIt was also a preemptive strike because a lot of people were trying to make movies about me. Mostly misogynistic men. So I put my foot in the door and said, \u2018No one\u2019s going to tell my story, but me!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
