Millie Bob Brown Will Not Star in Netflix’s "Perfect"

Netflix’s Olympic gymnastics drama “Perfect” is no longer moving ahead after Millie Bobby Brown exited due to creative differences, two sources with knowledge of the project have confirmed.

Brown’s involvement in the project was first reported back last September.

The Emmy nominee was set to star as Kerri Strug, a member of the 1996 “Magnificent Seven” USA gymnastics team with Cate Shortland directing and Ronnie Sandahl as screenwriter.

The film’s original director, Gia Coppola, left the project earlier and was replaced by Shortland.

Brown had also been set to produce under her PMCA shingle, which Nik Bower of Riverstone Pictures and Thomas Benski for Magna Studios as lead producers.

At 18 years old, Strug helped her team win the gold medal after she performed the vault on an injured ankle. After she landed perfectly and her ankle gave out, her coach had so carried her off the mat, which became a landmark moment in Olympic history. Her team insisted she join them for the gold medal ceremony, and again, her coach helped carry her to the podium.

She became a heroic figure with appearances on talk shows, a “Saturday Night Live” parody, and her photo on the Wheaties box.

After her gymnastics career, Strug went on to work as an elementary school teacher and in several positions in the White House and Justice Department.

Brown just completed five seasons of Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” which she started at 12 years old, and also wrapped production on the giant streamer’s upcoming rom-com “Just Picture It,” in which she stars and produces.

Up next, she’ll appear in “Enola Holmes 3,” premiering on Netflix this summer.

Brown is also working on another Netflix project, “Nineteen Steps,” which will adapt Brown’s debut novel for the screen.
