Goldberg first teased a third installment of the franchise in October,
“For a long time they kept saying no-one wanted to see it, and then quite recently it turns out that that may not be true,” the actress and TV personality told James Corden.

“People might want to see it. So we’re working diligently to figure out how to get the gang together,” she added. 

“Listen — bad singing, great singing. OK singing and then nuns. What’s better than that?”

“Sister Act 3” will premiere on Disney Plus, the corporation’s streaming service.
