Rumours are swirling that Millie Bobby Brown<\/a> may star as Britney Spears<\/a> in a film about the singer’s life.<\/p>\n

The Stranger Things<\/a> star, 21, has said several times that she’d love to play the Toxic hitmaker, and fans are now convinced that she’s dropping hints that something is in the works.<\/p>\n

Millie has posted several photos of herself on Instagram<\/a> with brand new blonde hair, sporting very Y2K outfits – strong Baby One More Time vibes – in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n

This has led fans to point out Millie’s resemblance to a young Britney in the comments sections, with some speculating that a casting announcement could be on the way. <\/p>\n

On Monday, Millie commented on possibly playing the part: ‘I would love nothing more than to be a part of her story. But that\u2019s her story, and I am in full support of her bringing her story to life\u2026 how she wants to.’<\/p>\n

‘I would want someone to bring it to life in the most beautiful way, and I\u2019d always be open to that,’ she added to Access Hollywood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The biopic, an adaptation of Britney’s 2023 memoir A Woman In Me<\/a>, is set to be produced by Universal Studios, with Wicked director Jon M. Chu attached to direct and Marc Platt set to produce.<\/p>\n

Fans have also read into a comment Chu made about the film to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, speculating that his description of the themes he’s going to explore in the movie seem to point toward a child star like Millie.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘We haven\u2019t written the script yet, we haven\u2019t hired a writer yet. But in this initial conception, I think it\u2019s a lot about how we treat people, young people, stars that we think we own, women, mothers. There\u2019s a lot of things in there that I would love to explore.’<\/p>\n

Millie has publicly declared her desire to play the legendary pop star in a future biopic even before the memoir came out. <\/p>\n

In a 2022 interview with Drew Barrymore<\/a>, the young actress was asked if there was anything on her ‘bucket list’ as a filmmaker, and the Enola Holmes star had an answer ready.<\/p>\n

‘I want to play a real person. I think for me, Britney,’ Millie revealed.<\/p>\n

‘I think her story resonates with me. Growing up in the public eye. Watching videos of her, watching interviews of her when she was younger. The same thing with you!’ she added to the Scream actress.<\/p>\n

‘I see her scramble for words and I don’t know her but when I look at pictures of her I feel I can tell her story in the right way,’ Millie went on.<\/p>\n

But Britney herself seemed to take issue with the idea of Millie playing the role, posting a photo of an ornate door in November 22 with the caption: \u2018Good news, good news!!! Still breathing \u2026 it\u2019s funny the same two people who gave me life are the same exact 2 people who took it away \u2026 but guess what!!! I\u2019m alive and I\u2019m breathing again!!!<\/p>\n

\u2018Yeah I know I\u2019ve posted too much this week on Instagram \u2026 kinda fun though!!! Now that I\u2019m breathing \u2026 I have time \u2026 it\u2019s different!!! I like it!!!<\/p>\n

\u2018I hear about people wanting to do movies about my life \u2026 dude I\u2019m not dead!!! Although it\u2019s pretty f**king clear they preferred me dead \u2026 I guess my family is going to lock their doors now!!!<\/p>\n

Fans in the comments below rushed to defend Millie, insisting that she didn\u2019t mean any harm with her comments.<\/p>\n

\u2018We love you Britney,\u2019 a follower penned. \u2018Also, I think Millie Bobby Brown meant it as a compliment that she wanted to play you in a movie and that she\u2019d honor you properly, don\u2019t be offended Queen!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Millie was complimenting not wishing death. Jesus,\u2019 another said, as one replied: \u2018The only way there\u2019s gonna be a movie about you is if you\u2019re involved.\u2019<\/p>\n

Britney’s story has been one of the most discussed in celebrity history, from her rise to fame as a young teenager via The Mickey Mouse Club and her music career, to her mental health issues and controversial conservatorship<\/a> – Britney has lived her life squarely in the public eye. <\/p>\n

Millie, who was in Netflix<\/a> hit Stranger Things<\/a> from the age of 11 to 20<\/a>, can relate to the struggles of fame coming at such a young.<\/p>\n

\u2018I don\u2019t have many friends because of who I am,\u2019 she told Vanity Fair<\/a> in their March cover story.<\/p>\n

\u2018I didn\u2019t go to school, so I don\u2019t have the best social skills when it comes to people my own age and friendships. I struggle with that quite a bit,\u2019 she continued.<\/p>\n

She concluded: \u2018I missed out on a few things. But I\u2019m working through them.\u2019<\/p>\n
