Julia Garner appeared stony-faced as she emerged from a Manhattan hotel on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old Gucci brand ambassador looked chic in all-black attire – sunglasses, winter maxi-coat, handbag, and $1,220 Gucci ‘Women’s Loafer with Horsebit.’

Julia’s street sighting came three days after Madonna revealed the ‘struggle’ behind resuscitating her ‘scrapped’ self-directed biopic, Who’s That Girl.

‘After struggling for days in LA, listening to producers and agents tell me why I couldn’t make my film [I’ve] been working on…for four years,’ the 66-year-old Queen of Pop lamented on Monday.

‘”Downsize! Down scale! Think smaller,” they say. I realized that everything in my life is going to be challenged. No easy rides for me. I guess I should be grateful. It forces me to think outside the box. I did not have a normal life. I cannot make this in the normal way.’

Michigan-born Madge then reached out to her 53.6M social media followers for advice on whether she should make ‘the story of my life’ into a TV series or a feature film.

That same day, a source told DailyMail.com that producers ‘laughed’ at the seven-time Grammy winner’s ‘ludicrous’ demand for a $100M budget.

Madonna co-wrote the script formerly titled Little Sparrow with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, who was later replaced by Independent Spirit Award-winning screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson (The Girl on the Train, Secretary).

The self-made superstar famously cast Garner as herself in June 2022 after a grueling 11-hour audition process and when Universal Pictures passed in January 2023, she told ET she was still holding out hope: ‘Fingers crossed!’

The three-time Emmy winner hasn’t been pictured with Madonna since May 2023 when they attended the 58th birthday of famed lensman Steven Klein in Manhattan.

And now that the twice-divorced mother-of-six concluded her $225.3M-grossing, 81-date Celebration Tour on May 4, she is putting much of her energy back into the biopic.

The only other person Madonna was publicly considering for Who’s That Girl was Uncut Gems alum Julia Fox in the role of her longtime gal pal, Debi Mazar.

The Material Girl previously helmed two dismally-reviewed box office bombs – Filth and Wisdom in 2008, and W.E. in 2011.

In July, Julia wrapped a mystery role in Zach Cregger’s 2026 Florida-set horror film Weapons alongside Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, and Benedict Wong.

But audiences can next catch Garner as wife and mother Charlotte in Leigh Whannell’s horror film Wolf Man, which hits US/UK theaters January 17.

The remake of George Waggner’s 1941 film The Wolf Man reunited the Apartment 7A actress with her former Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene co-star – Christopher Abbott – who replaced Ryan Gosling as her onscreen husband Blake.

Julia will also play Silver Surfer in Matt Shakman’s MCU reboot The Fantastic Four: First Steps – hitting US/UK theaters July 25 – alongside Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and Paul Walter Hauser.

On the personal front, Garner will celebrate five years of wedded bliss with Foster the People frontman Mark Foster next month.

The Bronx native originally met the 40-year-old Grammy nominee at the Sundance Film Festival in 2013, but they didn’t reconnect until 2016 via Instagram.
