The Sister Act cast is having to recongregate after the loss of their Reverend Mother.
As Sister Act 3 remains in the works, star Whoopi Goldberg, who plays singer-turned-nun Deloris in the hit franchise, shared that the upcoming film has had to rework its plot in the wake of Dame Maggie Smith's death.
“We’re having to make some readjustments because we just lost Maggie Smith,” Goldberg told Jimmy Fallon on the Nov. 6 episode of The Tonight Show. “We will get it done. They’ll get it done. It just is a shift.”
The British icon, who died in September at the age of 89, played Mother Superior in the 1992 original Sister Act and the 1993 sequel Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.
Goldberg and producer Tyler Perry have been hard at work trying to get the Sister Act sequel in the works after years of starts and stops. Disney greenlit the project in December 2020, noting that Goldberg was returning to star and produce.
Since then, however, details of the film have mostly been kept quiet apart from the fact that it is happening.
"I can say it's coming," Goldberg told Entertainment Tonight in May. "It's coming around the mountain when it comes. It'll be here soon. I'm excited. It's time for it, you know, it's time."
Although that time has taken its toll on Perry, who expressed frustration earlier this year.
"I'm a little annoyed with how long this has taken me. It's taking so long, like I've done four movies since we started talking about this," he told Entertainment Tonight in February. "When I'm outside producing with—you know, Disney's a huge, wonderful company, but I really want to get this movie and Whoopi really wants to get this movie."
As for who may join Goldberg as she’s back in the habit for a third time? The View moderator named Keke Palmer, Lizzo, and Nicki Minaj as being her told picks to be newcomers in the franchise back in 2022.
And upon hearing the news Palmer gushed over the company.
"I'm loving it,” she told E! News shortly after Goldberg named her dream cast. “First of all, I love Lizzo, and I love Nicki. So, if me, Lizzo and Nicki are in Sister Act 3, I'm in the theaters. Okay? I'm in the theaters and I'm showing up to work on time because that sounds like a fun cast."
