‘Sister Act 3’ director says the sequel could shoot this year

Thirty years after the Whoopi Goldberg-starring Sister Act set the world, and the box office, on fire – and 29 years after the sequel, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, did not – filming is almost ready to begin on a decades-later sequel for Disney Plus. This comes seven years after the project was first announced. In the original, Goldberg plays Reno lounge singer Deloris Wilson, who dons the wimple to hide out in a convent after witnessing a gangland murder.

According to a report in Disney-focused gossip site DisInsider, the threequel will be directed by Tim Federle, who recently helmed Disney Plus’ recent musical, Better Nate Than Never. While Whoopi Goldberg is already signed to return, she remains a cohost of ABC’s daytime chat show The View. As it happens, ABC is owned by Disney, so the process of getting time off from her day job should be pretty smooth.
