A source told Life & Style Britney Spears would like to see Sweeney play the lead role in the biopic.
The insider said: "She's a huge Euphoria fan so the fact that Sydney Sweeney's name is in the mix is super exciting.
"Not to mention having Jon M Chu directing, he's the best of the best and Britney's giddy about working with him and producer Marc Platt."
Millie Bobby Brown
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, 20, said: "I want to play a real person, and her story resonates with me."
Christina Aguilera
On The Tonight Show in 2015, Spears' longtime frenemy Christina Aguilera, 43, did an amazing impression of her while singing This Little Piggy.
Sabrina Carpenter
Actress and singer Sabrina Carpenter, 25, has called Spears a pop icon (obviously!) and has even covered …Baby One More Time.
Blake Lively
The dress fits!
Blake Lively, 36, said on August 6 while wearing the actual Versace gown the icon once wore: "I feel so lucky."
Britney Spears
Could the Crossroads star play herself?!
Spears, 42, wrote on Instagram in 2022: "I hear about people wanting to do movies about my life… dude I'm not dead!"
Talks about the perfect actress to play the Toxic singer's role started after Universal Pictures confirmed its plans to create the film version of her best-selling memoir, with Wicked director, Chu, helming the adaptation.
The Woman in Me, which has sold more than three million copies since its release in October 2023, chronicled the pop star's life and career – from her time as a member of the Mickey Mouse Club to the moment she was put under a conservatorship.
Spears also made headlines after revealing details about her past relationship with Justin Timberlake, including her pregnancy and eventual abortion.
At the time of release, Spears said: "I poured my heart and soul into my memoir, and I am grateful to my fans and readers around the world for their unwavering support."
Spears also posted an update about the project on her X page, writing: "Excited to share with my fans that I've been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He’s always made my favorite movies … stay tuned 🌹🎥."
