Netflix Nears Deal With Millie Bobby Brown For Kerri Strug Biopic

Millie Bobby Brown is in final negotiations to star as Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug in the biopic Perfect, which Netflix is aiming to distribute. Directed by Gia Coppola and written by Ronnie Sandahl, the film will depict Strug's iconic vault on an injured ankle that helped secure the 1996 U.S. women's gymnastics team their first gold medal, known as the "Magnificent 7." This project marks a significant step for Brown, showcasing her transition to more mature roles, and she is also set to produce the film through her PMCA production company. Perfect is expected to begin filming in spring 2026, complementing Brown's upcoming work, including Stranger Things Season 5 and other Netflix projects like Enola Holmes 3. The collaboration highlights Brown's expanding career post-Stranger Things and her commitment to portraying compelling real-life stories.
