Millie Bobby Brown is eyeing her next big role amid her motherhood journey.
The Stranger Things star—who adopted a baby girl with husband Jake Bongiovi this summer—is in final talks to play Olympian Kerri Strug in Perfect, a biopic centered around the U.S. women’s gymnastics team at the 1996 Summer Games, according to multiple outlets.
Another big name in negotiations? Director Gia Coppola, the granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola and the niece of Sofia Coppola.
And for Millie, having both a career and family has always been her goal. As she put it earlier this year, “I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it’s so important to start a family.”
“Jake knows how important it is to me,” she shared on a March episode of the Smartless podcast, adding that both she and the actor—the son of Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley—are “one of four” kids in their respective families. “It is definitely in our future.”
