Millie Bobby Brown Eyes Kerri Strug Biopic

The Hollywood Reporter reported on September 24, 2025, that actress Millie Bobby Brown is in talks to star as Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug in a 1990s sports movie titled 'Perfect' for Netflix. The film is set to be directed by Gia Coppola. The project will revisit Strug's time as a member of the "Magnificent Seven," the U.S. Women's Gymnastics team that competed in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Strug became a national figure after famously performing her final vault on an injured ankle, a move that secured the first-ever team gold medal for the U.S. women's gymnastics team. The film is based on Strug's memoir, "Landing on My Feet: A Diary of Dreams," according to a May 2022 report from Deadline. Brown is widely known for her leading role in the Netflix series 'Stranger Things'. The source did not provide details on other cast members or a production schedule. The film is in development for the streaming service, with negotiations for Brown's lead role underway.
