Netflix Drops Millie Bobby Brown’s ‘Perfect’ After She Exits Olympics Movie Over Creative Differences

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

Brown was set to star as Kerri Strug, a member of the 1996 “Magnificent Seven” USA gymnastics team with Gia Coppola directing and Ronnie Sandahl as screenwriter.

The project was announced last September.

Strug helped her team win the gold medal after she performing the vault on an injured ankle. After she landed perfectly and her ankle gave out, her coach had so carry 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.

We need him to be forceful. He did a good job not just scoring.
