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.”
And for the 21-year-old, adoption will always be on the table.
“I don’t see having your own child as really any different as in adopting,” she explained. “For me, my home is full of love for anyone and anything.”
Jake, who she married in 2024, is on the same page as well.
“That is what we kind of stand by—Jake and I—is our energy in the house is the door is always open,” Millie added. “We want everyone to feel really comfortable.”
Plus, the couple are also parents to a team of farm animals.
“My animals are loud, and it’s messy and my dogs are crazy,” the Enola Holmes actress gushed to Vanity Fair in March. “And there is, you know, laughter and a lot of passion and excitement, and it is a very vibrant place. There is so much chaos, and that is where I thrive.”
