In addition to US singer Lizzo (34), Goldberg also named rapper Nicki Minaj (39, "Moment 4 Life") and actress Keke Palmer (29, "Hustlers") as other preferred candidates. "I want as many people as possible who want to have fun because I need some fun," Goldberg continued.

The actress left open in the interview when the film should be released. The script should be ready by the end of October, Goldberg said. According to the trade journal "Deadline", the film should be released by Disney.

A year later "Sister Act 2 - In Divine Mission" was released. The comedy was also staged as a musical.
