"Sister Act 3" Gets Script Update

As Whoopi Goldberg hit the Oscars red carpet 34 years after she won Best Supporting Actress for “Ghost,” she revealed that she has seen a finished script for “Sister Act 3.”

“We’re hoping it’ll happen sometime this year,” Goldberg said at the Oscars red carpet in Hollywood earlier Sunday. But when asked what she thought about the script, Goldberg responded by saying: “It doesn’t matter what I think. It only matters if Disney wants to do it.”

Goldberg starred in the first “Sister Act” back in 1992, which grossed $231 million on a $31 million budget. She returned for the sequel, “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit,” reprising her role as a former lounge singer in the witness protection program who is forced to hide out in a California convent.

Ever since the successful first two comedies, people have speculated about a third. Variety reported back in 2020 that Goldberg was officially starring in a threequel, with Tyler Perry producing.

Following Maggie Smith’s death this past September, Goldberg said: “We’re having to make some readjustments [to “Sister Act 3″] because we just lost Maggie Smith, as you know. And so, we will get it done. We will get it done. It’s a shift.”

Before her Oscar win for “Ghost,” Goldberg received her first Oscar nomination for “The Color Purple” back in 1986. At the Oscars ceremony, she is expected to pay tribute to the beloved classic alongside Oprah Winfrey.

Goldberg has hosted the Oscars four times over the years and still holds the record as the only Black woman to host the ceremony solo.
