Fans have been waiting quite a while for "Sister Act 3." The film was first announced way back in 2020 — during Disney's big Investor Day — with the feature heading for Disney+. Unfortunately, there haven't been a ton of updates since then, but we have heard a few things here and there.
For example, in September 2022, the film's producer, Tyler Perry, went on "The View" and said, "The Hollywood system moves a little slower than I'd like to. So we've got a good script. We're off to a great start. We're just trying to get everybody moving in the direction so we can get going."
Then, in November 2022, Whoopi Goldberg went on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and confirmed things were heading in the right direction, saying, "The script came in yesterday. I really like it, but it has a whole lot of adults to go through. So, if they don't get in its way, it could actually be pretty good."
Later in October 2023, Goldberg visited Vatican City, where she met the Pope. The celebrity also used the moment to discuss her upcoming comedy film. During a stop at St. Peter's Square, Goldberg said on Instagram, "Picture 'Sister Act' and all the nuns standing here, waiting for the Pope to come out. Maybe that's going to happen in the new movie."
