The ultimate collab
Main character energy is at an all-time high. Sabrina Carpenter and Margaret Qualley have officially joined the cast of the upcoming, untitled Fred Astaire biopic. The project, which stars Tom Holland as the legendary triple-threat, is finally gaining some serious momentum after being teased for years.
The roles
Sabrina is stepping into the iconic shoes of Ginger Rogers, Astaire's legendary dance partner. Considering Sabrina got her start on Girl Meets World before absolutely dominating the pop charts, it’s giving a major return-to-acting flex. Meanwhile, Margaret is set to play Adele Astaire, Fred’s sister and his original Broadway dance partner. Fun fact: since zero footage of Adele dancing actually exists, this is going to be a fascinating piece of cinema history to watch unfold.
Why it matters
This is a full-circle moment for the cast. Sabrina and Margaret recently starred together in the "House Tour" music video alongside Madelyn Cline, so their chemistry is already locked in. With Paul King—the mastermind behind Wonka and Paddington—in the director's chair, the vibes are guaranteed to be immaculate. The project also has the blessing of Fred Astaire's daughter, Ava Astaire McKenzie, so it's safe to say this biopic is definitely one to watch. Say less—we are ready for the musical numbers.
