Now that the thrilling news of Madonna’s forthcoming biopic has had a chance to settle, we have been left with one burning question that’s begging for an answer: who will be playing the icon? While we don’t have the answer just yet, there has been plenty of speculation. From Little Women’s Florence Pugh to Euphoria’s Alexa Demie, the hunt for Madonna’s Lucky Star is officially underway.

Given the gruelling 11-hour days of choreography sessions with Madonna’s choreographer, followed by reading and singing sessions with Madonna herself, casting director Carmen Cuba is looking for someone who can keep up with it all — with the same finesse and execution be-known to the legendary performer. And with Universal named as the biopic’s distributor, it is assured a huge theatrical release — raising the stakes even higher to become the next “Material Girl”.

Since winning multiple Emmy’s for her performance in Ozark, it would appear Julia Garner is setting herself up to depart from the crime drama world and into the world of stardom, and we are definitely here for it.

One actor who is already known to mould into any character is Florence Pugh — and as confirmed by recent reports, her chances to secure Madonna as her next project are higher than ever.

Now that we have all recently discovered Alexa’s hidden musical career, it was no surprise to learn she has been sinking her perfectly manicured claws into the biopic auditions. Though it may be hard to imagine her as anyone other than Maddy Perez, we can’t wait to witness it.

When searching for the perfect candidate, newcomers are welcome — proven by British actress Emma Laird, most widely known for her main role in Mayor of Kingstown.

Given that Madonna is first and foremost a singer, it would make sense that the hunt for her star would also take place within the music industry. Enter, Bebe Rexha.

Squint your eyes and Sky Ferreira could already pass as Madonna before the hours of hair and makeup. Given her accolades as a singer, songwriter, model and actress, it would appear she is already half-way there.
