Whoopi Goldberg is expected to reprise her role in Sister Act 3. She was on Comedy Central’s Hell Of A Week With Charlamagne Tha God, where she talked about potential cast members.
“I’m going to ask for Keke Palmer to come in,” she said. “I want everybody to come in. I want Lizzo to come in. I want everybody. I want the girl with the chest, what’s her name?… Nicki Minaj! I want Nicki to come. I want everybody. I want as many people who want to have some fun, because I really, desperately need to have some fun.”
Sister Act was released 30 years ago in 1992, followed by Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit the following year. They revolve around Deloris Van Cartier (Whoopi Goldberg), who enters the witness protection program after witnessing her mafia beau, Vince LaRocca (Harvey Keitel), commit murder.
