Madonna has revealed that her long planned biopic has been scrapped after a budget dispute with Universal Studios.

Madonna is still a material girl living in a material world, and this time the material in question is a Hollywood budget that never quite matched her vision.

In the summer 2026 issue of "Interview Magazine", the pop icon disclosed that her long-anticipated biopic has been cancelled. This decision follows a disagreement with Universal Studios regarding creative direction and production expenses.

The project, which had drawn major attention for years and was set to star “Ozark" actress Julia Garner, never made it past development.

Madonna said that she invested years into shaping the film herself.
