The hottest contest in Hollywood right now might be the one behind the scenes as hopefuls vie to play Madonna in the movie of her life, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Tinseltown news source notes that interest is high among actors looking to land the role, and would-be leading ladies for the project have come from all quarters — "from Emmy winners and Oscar nominees to singers turned actresses." Among those said to be in top contention is Florence Pugh, who starred in last year's "Black Widow," noted Comic Book. "Since the list of potential Madonnas was released, many people have taken to Twitter to back Pugh as the choice, but the former Academy Award-nominated actor has some competition," the site went on to note, saying that the "finalists also include Julia Garner ('Ozark'), Alexa Demie ('Euphoria'), Odessa Young ('Mothering Sunday'), and Emma Laird ('Mayor of Kingstown')." Those in contention may find themselves in "what can be best described as a Madonna Bootcamp," a "grueling" process that includes "choreography sessions with Madonna's choreographer, after which there are choreography sessions with Madonna, herself," THR said. Work days are long — up to eleven hours long, it's reported. And remember, this is just for the casting of the role. Whoever wins the plum part will "still [be] looking at months' worth of intense training ahead of a potential start date" for filming, THR said.⁠ ⁠ Who do you want to play Madge?⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork⁠ ?️‍?????❤️⁠ ?️: Kilian Melloy / @dragelruairi⁠ ?: Madonna / @madonna
