Charlotte Wells has a way of seeing the cracks in ordinary life and turning them into stories that hit you in the gut. She has wrestled with grief, loss, and the quiet chaos of human relationships in shorts like Tuesday, Laps, and Blue Christmas, earning nods from Sundance, SXSW, and BAFTA Scotland along the way. Her films linger, haunting, long after the credits roll, and now, after proving she can capture the soul of a story, she is set to direct an upcoming biopic and wants a new Avenger in it.

Florence Pugh is emerging as a choice to star in the Debbie Harry biopic as Charlotte Wells takes the director’s chair, promising a film that is edgy, intimate, and impossible to ignore.

In a revealing interview with The Sunday Times, Debbie Harry, the electrifying frontwoman of Blondie, shared exciting news about a biopic in development. The singer revealed that Charlotte Wells is working on the project, and her wish is for Florence Pugh to play her. "If it were somebody like Florence Pugh, I would be in heaven," Harry said, praising Pugh as a remarkable actor capable of transforming into any role. 

Before this recent revelation, during a panel at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in 2020, Pugh revealed her hopes of portraying Debbie Harry in a film adaptation (via Entertainment Weekly). Those dreams could finally have a full-circle moment if Pugh is cast in it. With Wells’ reputation for crafting deeply human stories, it seems unlikely that Pugh would turn down the chance to star in the filmmaker’s highly anticipated sophomore effort. With Pugh emerging as a choice for the role, attention is also turning back to her beloved Little Women, which continues to generate buzz.

It is like a favorite band dropping a secret track, reigniting excitement just when fans thought they had savored it all.

Pugh, who recently shed light on Marvel’s boldness, delivered a mesmerizing turn in Little Women that continues to captivate audiences, from Jo’s fierce independence to the tender bonds of the March family. Her ability to embody complex characters and bring historic stories vividly to life has cemented her reputation. And now all eyes are on her as she becomes a preference to star in Blondie, that too from Debbie Harry herself.
