We've collected the most interesting biopics we're looking forward to in the near future — from the sports drama “Queen of the Ring” starring Sydney Sweeney as the legendary boxer to a film about The Beatles.
“Queen of the Ring”
Advertising.
A gripping biographical drama about American boxer Christy Martin, played by the charismatic Sydney Sweeney, star of “The Handmaid's Tale.” The film tells the story of Christy's rise to the status of America's most famous boxer in the 1990s and the attempt on her life by a man in 2010. With depth and drama, 28-year-old Sweeney plays the boxer who became the first woman to sign with legendary promoter Don King and became a symbol of women's boxing of her time. But behind the records and fame was a difficult fate, and this is precisely what the actress, who was given the opportunity to expand her role in the film “Queen of the Ring”, manages to subtly convey.

“Hamnet”
Hamnet, directed by Chloe Zhao, an Oscar winner for The Land of the Wanderers, is set during the outbreak of the Black Death in England in the 1580s. The film tells the story of the personal life of playwright William Shakespeare – and focuses on the death of his only 11-year-old son, Hamnet. Shakespeare creates Hamlet under the influence of grief. The leading role is played by the charismatic Paul Mescal (Gladiator, Normal People), and his wife is played by Jessie Buckley. The film won the main prize of audience sympathy at the Toronto Film Festival, and Mescal says it is one of the most striking projects of his career

“Mark through Sophia's eyes”
Sofia Coppola's film “Marc by Sofia” shows Marc Jacobs through archival footage and work on a new collection. For twelve weeks, Coppola filmed the preparation of the spring-summer 2024 show, dedicated to the designer's 40th anniversary. The viewer sees Jacobs in detail: he carefully selects fabrics, works with scenography, monitors every detail – from makeup and hairstyles to accessories that complete the looks. For him, a show is a theater, a “seven-minute performance” where every detail is important. The film features materials from different stages of his career: his graduation collection at Parsons, the legendary grunge line for Perry Ellis (1992), which changed American fashion, his years at Louis Vuitton and his collaboration with Takashi Murakami. Coppola builds the film as a cinematic moodboard, where Jacobs' world is formed – his inspiration, aesthetics, and way of thinking.

Miles Teller, star of the films “Obsession” and “Top Gun: Maverick”, will play the role of one of Michael's lawyers.

The Beatles
Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes (“American Beauty,” “Skyfall”) has begun work on films about the star-studded foursome The Beatles. The cast of the upcoming films is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent: Paul Mescal (“Normal People”) as Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan (“Saltburn”) as Ringo Starr, Harris Dickinson (“Good Bad Girl”) as John Lennon, and Joseph Quinn (“Gladiator”) as George Harrison. It is known that these will be four interconnected biographical films – about each member of the band. The exact order of the films' release is still unknown, although all four will be released on the big screen in April 2028.

“The Woman in Me”
A film adaptation of Britney Spears's groundbreaking book “The Woman in Me,” in which the singer candidly talks about her childhood, abortion, abusive relationships with her own father and husbands, and her path to self-discovery.

The Universal Pictures is working on the film adaptation: John Chu, known for the hits “Crazy Rich Asians” and “GI Joe: The Rise of Skyfall 2,” is the director, and three-time Oscar nominee Marc Platt (“La La Land”) is the producer. Who will play Britney Spears is the main intrigue.
