Spears, 43, took to Instagram to seemingly sound off on the casting of a planned film set to tell her life story, captioning her post (per the New York Post and PEOPLE), “Definitely a character because that’s not me !!! But wait s— it does kinda look like me  !!! Just kidding !!!”

Commenting was turned off when she re-uploaded the pics without a caption, but more than 191,000 people liked her slideshow.

Last summer, Universal Pictures announced it had landed the rights to turn Spears’ 2023 autobiography, The Woman in Me, into a feature film with Wicked filmmaker Jon M. Chu set to direct.

The Toxic singer celebrated the news on X at the time, tweeting she was “excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He’s always made my favourite movies … stay tuned.”

But Spears has raised eyebrows with some of the antics she has shared to social media.

In September 2023, a video of Spears dancing with what appeared to be knives sparked concern, prompting a welfare check and a police investigation. But the singer later clarified that the knives were fake and inspired by Shakira’s performance at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Earlier this month, Spears posted a racy video of herself dancing to ex Justin Timberlake’s song Señorita on Instagram.

The clip has since been deleted, but Billboard reported that Spears “slipped into a pair of thigh-high black boots, a brown Stetson hat and a patterned thong bodysuit to bust some moves in front of a roaring fireplace to a classic JT tune.”

Several hours after sharing the video of herself dancing to Timberlake, PEOPLE reported that Spears shared another sultry dance video — this time in a red gown — set to Janet Jackson’s That’s the Way Love Goes.

In another post from earlier this month, Spears twirled around in “a dirty night gown.”

“I have nice dresses too, but do you honestly think I feel anyone is worthy of the real me at this point?” she asked her 41.7 million followers.

In yet another since-deleted post, Spears struck a series of poses for the camera, writing, according to the Daily Mail, “I will probably take this down tomorrow … It’s weird wearing lingerie … The intention is supposed to be sexy!!! S***, the pressure … I feel way too vulnerable and exposed, and my body looks bigger so I guess I’m not a stick thin model … I would be a, let’s just say, voluptuous model.”

With musical biopics proving to be a success at the box office, some of the actresses rumoured to be in the running to play Spears in the planned film include Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter.

But Chu shut down talk that there’s a front-runner to topline the biopic in a social media post earlier this month, writing, “None of this is true. Sounds exciting but have not had one conversation about casting this movie yet. We are way too early in development. Sorry.”

Spears’ bestselling book charted her rise from her time appearing on the Mickey Mouse Club up until her highly-publicized conservatorship case that saw her win back her freedom. 

“I poured my heart and soul into my memoir, and I am grateful to my fans and readers around the world for their unwavering support,” Spears said after the book’s release.

Last month, Heart Eyes star Olivia Holt told Variety she would be “honoured” to help tell Spears’ story.

“I’m just so grateful to be in the running and around so many names and talent who are in the running for it. Just the idea that I am on people’s minds to play something as iconic as this, would be a dream.”

During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show back in 2022, Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, 21, said her dream was to play Spears.

“I want to play a real person and I think for me, Britney. (It) would be Britney Spears. I think her story, first of all, resonates with me,” Brown told Barrymore.

“Just growing up in the public eye watching her videos, watching interviews of how when she was younger. I mean, same thing with you,” Brown continued. “I see the scramble for words (in her interviews) and I don’t know her, but when I look at pictures of her, I feel like I could tell her story in the right way and hers only.”

Last month, Brown continued her campaign telling Access Hollywood, Spears “is an absolute icon.”

“I would love nothing more than to be a part of her story,” she said. “But that’s her story, and I am in full support of her bringing her story to life how she wants to.”
