Los Angeles, California - The clock has started counting down until the anticipated Britney Spears biopic is due to hit theaters, and here's who we think would slay the pop star in the movie!

Once news broke that a film adaptation for the Toxic hitmaker's memoir The Woman in Me landed at Universal Studios, the online search for who should play Britney began.

While some fans feel that a newcomer should be given the honor, others argue that a veteran actor deserves the role.

There are already a few contenders circulating the net that fans think should be given serious consideration, as this is a vital moment for all the '90s babies.

Scream and shout if you agree that one of these famous ladies would do a great job as Britney in the upcoming movie!

Britney's longtime friend and assistant has handpicked Emma Roberts for the role, so she's definitely a potential choice!

The 33-year-old American Horror Story star is a singer as well as a top-notch actor with multiple roles under her belt in films and on TV.

Don't forget her infamous role on the Nickelodeon show Unfabulous where she played a young aspiring singer/songwriter going through the trials and tribulations of high school life.

That being said, her acting abilities are generally lauded significantly higher than her skills as a singer.

Sabrina Carpenter is another big name that's been floating around Reddit and X by fans.

The Girl Meets World star is another former child actor who's since had several mega-viral pop hits such as Espresso and Please Please Please.

Plus whoever takes on this role, which could be an Oscar contender, will HAVE to be a dancer – making Sabrina another obvious option.

She's also considered a rising star, which effectively makes her a newbie who could satisfy fans who want a fresh face in the role.

Just a thought!

One could argue that the biopic could be Taylor Swift's Lady Gaga moment!

The Tortured Poets Department artist and Grammy winner is another pop star in her own right.

T-Swift is also a prime candidate due to her uncanny similarities to the Gimme More performer, who has lauded Taylor's success in the past.

Both singers are global sensations with ground-breaking hit records and multiple sold-out tours.

It's no secret that Britney and Taylor have two of the largest and most devoted fandoms out there!

If anyone could relate to the "lucky" life of a pop icon, it would be the one who told everyone to shake it off.

What do you think – who's your top pick to play Britney Spears in her much-anticipated biopic film?
