At the moment, one of the biggest upcoming roles that actresses are auditioning for is the role of Madonna in the Queen of pop’s own biopic. She’s currently working with director Carmen Cuba to find the perfect actress to take on this role. However, there’s a catch – the “Madonna Bootcamp.”

It seems as if everybody and their mothers are auditioning for the role of the Queen of pop. From Emmy winners to Oscar nominees, actresses have to go through a grueling "Madonna Bootcamp". According to Madonna, she's having a fresh take and writing her own story. "The reason I’m doing it is because a bunch of people have tried to write movies about me, but they’re always men", she says in an interview with Jimmy Fallon. "This happened a couple of times," she continued. "Finally I just threw down the gauntlet. I just said there's nobody on this planet that can write or direct a movie about me better than me."

It seems as if everybody and their mothers are auditioning for the role of the Queen of Pop. From Emmy winners to Oscar nominees, actresses have to go through a grueling “Madonna Bootcamp.” According to Madonna, she’s having a fresh take and writing her own story. “The reason I’m doing it is because a bunch of people have tried to write movies about me, but they’re always men,” she states in an interview with Jimmy Fallon. “This happened a couple of times,” she continued, “Finally, I just threw down the gauntlet. I just said there’s nobody on this planet that can write or direct a movie about me better than me.”

Now, Madonna is taking charge. So far, she’s selected five talented actresses that she’s working with. Inventing Anna star Julia Garner and Oscar-nominee Florence Pugh are included, along with Euphoria star Alexa Demie, Odessa Young, and Emma Laird.

Actresses auditioning for this role must endure an 11-hour choreography session with the “Like a Virgin” singer. In addition, the talented women auditioning for this role are to do a line reading and singing auditions with Madonna. “It’s a pretty crazy experience so far. I’m just in the writing process, and just deciding which stories to tell, how much detail to go into, which characters to develop,” Madonna shared with E! News back in 2021. “It’s really been a long and arduous process, but it’s been really therapeutic as well.”
