From sci-fi's Eleven to Olympic gold medalist Kerri Strug, Millie Bobby Brown's career takes a compelling turn. Known for her powerful performances in fantasy and science fiction, the young actress is set to tackle her most dramatic and real-life role yet. This shift from the supernatural to the world of elite athletics promises an intimate look at a historic moment, as Brown prepares to star in a new biopic that will delve into a story of the sports world

Her transition to this real-life role marks a new chapter, one that highlights her expanding influence behind the camera as well.

Millie Bobby Brown's latest project is a biopic about Olympic gold medalist Kerri Strug, titled Perfect. According to Deadline, in this film, Brown will not only star but also serve as a producer, a move that demonstrates her growing influence in the industry. The movie will be directed by Gia Coppola and is based on Strug’s book, Landing on My Feet: A Diary of Dreams. Netflix is also reportedly in negotiations to acquire the project, continuing Brown’s strong partnership with the streaming giant.

The upcoming biopic is described as a close and honest account of Strug’s story, focusing on her determination, as reported by Deadline. Perfect will chronicle the historic moment at the 1996 Olympics when Strug (played by Millie Bobby Brown), against all odds, performed a vault that helped secure the first gymnastics team gold medal for America. The film will highlight the immense pressure and sacrifice behind this unforgettable display of athletic courage.

This cinematic portrayal will bring to life the very moment of incredible bravery that defined Kerri Strug’s career.

Kerri Strug was a member of the U.S. Women’s gymnastics team that won the country’s first team gold at the 1996 Olympics. During the final event, Strug needed to complete her vault to secure the win. She had fallen and injured her ankle on her first attempt. Despite the injury, her coach insisted that she must perform a second vault to guarantee the gold.

With her ankle badly injured, Kerri Strug bravely limped to the runway. She performed her final vault, landing on both feet for a brief moment before collapsing in pain. The iconic image of her being carried to the podium by her coach, celebrating the team’s victory with her head held high, became a symbol of determination and national pride. She was later treated for a third-degree lateral sprain and tendon damage. This biopic will certainly enhance Netflix's library of real stories.
