Katie Holmes is tipped to play Victoria Beckham (aka. Posh Spice) in a new biopic of soccer superstar David Beckham reports Hollywood.Com.

Holmes and fiancé Tom Cruise are close friends with the British pair, though Cruise will not be playing Beckham because of "marked physical differences".

An insider says, "There's drama within the matches and romance in his love affair with Victoria at the height of her pop-star fame...The quartet are very close friends and the Beckhams would only be happy about their story being used if Tom and Katie were involved".
