Mary has really been in her production bag lately. In March news broke that she executive produced two new original Lifetime movies inspired by two of her biggest hits — “Real Love” and “Strength of a Woman.” The films both premiered on June 10.

For her own biopic, it’s currently unclear if Mary J. Blige will only be involved with the project from behind the camera. However, she definitely has the acting skills needed to portray herself or make an on-screen cameo if desired.
