\n Julia Garner<\/a> is offering an update about a project following the life of Madonna in which she is set to appear as the Queen of Pop herself.\n <\/p>\n

\n Garner reportedly became attached to the biopic in 2022 but ever since, details about its status have been sparse. But on Monday, Garner said that the project is \u201csupposed to still happen\u201d while she appeared on the latest episode of the \u201cSmartLess\u201d podcast<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n CNN has reached out to a representative for Madonna, who cowrote and has been tapped to direct the biopic, according to Variety,<\/a> for comment.\n <\/p>\n

\n The biopic was announced in 2022 but has met some ups and downs during the development stage, with Madonna pausing<\/a> work on the project to embark upon her Celebration Tour in 2023.\n <\/p>\n

\n Garner, currently starring in \u201cFantastic Four: First Steps<\/a>,\u201d didn\u2019t offer any explanation on her end for why the project has been in development for so long, other than saying that \u201canything that\u2019s great\u2026 I feel like it takes a long time.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Garner told the podcast\u2019s hosts \u2013 her former \u201cOzark\u201d costar Jason Bateman, along with Will Arnett and Sean Hayes \u2013 that she \u201cgrew up listening to Madonna\u201d and channeled that for her audition.\n <\/p>\n

\n The audition process for the role was reportedly grueling<\/a> and very competitive, with other actresses including \u201cEuphoria\u201d star Alexa Demie, Florence Pugh, and Anne Winters all vying for the role. Auditioners were said to learn choreography and participate in hourslong dance sessions.\n <\/p>\n

\n On the podcast on Monday, Garner acknowledged that she danced in front of and even sung with Madonna as part of her tryout for the role.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI kind of just thought, okay, what would Madonna do?\u201d Garner said of her mentality heading into her audition. Madonna would, she said, \u201cconvince you that she deserved to be in this room.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Garner added that she \u201cowned it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAnd I was kind of like, you can take it or leave it. But if you leave it, if I leave, then that\u2019s on you. And if you take it, great,\u201d she said. \u201cThat kind of mentality. And work the room, literally work the room.\u201d\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Tweet Email Link Julia Garner is offering an update about a project following the life of Madonna…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341],"class_list":["post-30501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
