Whoopi Goldberg Holds Out for Maggie Smith in Sister Act 3’s Disney+ Debut

The upcoming Disney+ release has sparked speculation about the return of familiar faces, including the revered Maggie Smith, who played Mother Superior in the original films. Goldberg has made it clear that Smith’s involvement is crucial, even offering to accommodate her needs to ensure her return. She said:

“I want to let Maggie Smith know that I’m holding the part of Mother Superior for you, because I just can’t do it with anybody but you. So, if you need me to come over here and shoot it and do whatever we have to do, we will do whatever you want us to do. But we don’t want to do it without you, Maggie.”

Adding to the anticipation, Tyler Perry has joined the project as a producer alongside Goldberg. The renowned filmmaker has expressed his eagerness to expedite the sequel’s production. Perry voiced his frustration with the slow pace, saying, “I’m a little annoyed with how long this has taken me. It’s taking so long.”
