According to Whoopi Goldberg, Maggie Smith is essential to the success of Sister Act 3. Sister Act, which starred Goldberg as Deloris van Cartier, was a huge box office hit when it to released in 1992. The musical comedy film Sister Act, which starred Wendy Makkena, Kathy Najimy, and Smith as Mother Superior, was followed by a sequel with a fresh cast of characters. Disney first revealed that Goldberg would assume her Habit as a nun for Sister Act 3 in 2018. The third installment has so far kept story elements a secret.
Goldberg has now made it obvious that for Sister Act 3 to succeed, Smith must be a part of it.
Smith should reprise her role as Mother Superior in Sister Act 3, according to Goldberg, who stated this during an interview with Judi Love on the British talk show Loose Women. Goldberg stated that she is willing to travel to Smith’s location in London to shoot parts for the movie because she does not want to do it without him. Goldberg said the script for Sister Act 3 is in excellent shape but would not say when filming will start. Check out the quote below and see what Goldberg had to say about wanting Smith to come back:
Characters from Sister Act Who Might Reappear
During the interview, Goldberg kept Sister Act 3’s plot secret. However, she mentioned that the movie is attempting to secure a director. Because Tom Federle was previously attached, Goldberg’s comment about attempting to lock up a director is a recent development. Smith does not appear to have formally joined the project yet, but Sister Act fans may anticipate seeing other well-known characters from the series. Currently, Sister Mary Robert (Makkena), Sister Mary Patrick (Najimy), and Jenifer Lewis anticipate reprising their roles.
The stage is now set for additional original Sister Act characters, such as the Sister Act 2 students, to return. In his teaser, Goldberg hinted that the third film might feature characters from Back in the Habit. Sister Act 3 anticipates having some of the biggest stars in entertainment, including Lizzo, Nicki Minaj, and Keke Palmer, though it is unknown which characters will reconnect alongside Goldberg.
Smith, hailed as one of the most illustrious actresses of her era, starred in the Harry Potter movies and Downton Abbey. Smith’s performance as Mother Superior was a recurring theme in the first two Sister Act movies because she served as a compass for Deloris. Sharing a closing moment in Sister Act 3 with Goldberg and Smith would be a wonderful way to honor the legacy of the film series. For years, Goldberg has defended Sister Act 3, which might be her final performance as Deloris Van Cartier. A third satisfactory installment of Sister Act is still edging closer to going into production.
