A biopic based on Britney Spears’ memoir, The Woman in Me, is officially in development, but rumors about Margot Robbie’s involvement have been debunked.
Universal Acquires Rights
Universal Pictures acquired the rights to Spears’ memoir, which chronicles her rise to fame, personal struggles, and legal battles over her conservatorship. The project will be produced by Marc Platt and directed by Jon M. Chu, known for Crazy Rich Asians and Wicked.
Margot Robbie Rumors Debunked
Despite widespread speculation, Margot Robbie has publicly denied any involvement in the biopic. Reports had suggested she might play Britney or produce the film through her production company, LuckyChap, but Robbie confirmed the claims were false. At a 2023 Variety Power of Women event, she stated:
“It’s not true … not true. Love Britney, though!”
Her production company also clarified that it is not participating in adapting the memoir.
Casting Speculation
While early rumors suggested actors like Timothée Chalamet might be considered for key roles, director Jon M. Chu emphasized that it’s too early for casting decisions. The project is still in its early stages, and no official casting has been announced.
What to Expect
The biopic aims to capture Spears’ journey from pop icon to personal freedom and self-empowerment. Fans can anticipate a story that dives into her professional triumphs, personal challenges, and life behind the headlines.
As of now, the film remains in development, and all casting details are speculative until officially confirmed.
