Whoopi Goldberg has shared an unfortunate update on Sister Act 3, revealing they have had to make some "readjustments" following Maggie Smith's death.
The long-awaited threequel has been in the works for a number of years, with the second movie released over three decades ago.
Smith, who played Reverend Mother in the first two movies, passed away in September aged 89, and Goldberg has revealed how her death has affected plans for the sequel.

"We’re having to make some readjustments because we just lost Maggie Smith, as you know," she told The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
"And so, we will get it done. We will get it done. It just is a shift."
Last year, Goldberg revealed during an appearance on Loose Women that she wanted Smith to return for the third movie.
"One of the things that I want to make sure I do while I'm here is I want to let Maggie Smith know that I'm holding the part of Mother Superior for you," she said at the time. "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."
Back in 2022, producer Tyler Perry gave an update on the status of Sister Act 3, admitting on The View that "the Hollywood system moves a little slower than I'd like it to".
"We've got a good script. We're off to a great start," he added. "We're just trying to get everybody moving in the right direction so we can get it going."
