Whoopi Goldberg opens up about her return as Deloris Van Cartier inSister Act 3. Released in 1992, Sister Act was a smash at the box office and solidified Goldberg's status as a Hollywood star after her Oscar-winning role in Ghost. Directed by Emile Ardolino,Sister Act follows nightclub singer Deloris Van Cartier (Goldberg), who seeks the refuge of a nun's convent as Sister Mary Clarence after she witnesses a horrendous crime.

Following the runaway success of Sister Act, the musical comedy spawned a sequel, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, which saw the return of Goldberg as Deloris. Released in 1993, Back in the Habit also brought back the original convent choir while featuring a new mix of talent, including Lauryn Hill as Rita Watson. Co-starring Hill, Kathy Najimy, Mary Wickes, Wendy Makkena, and Maggie Smith as Mother Superior, Back in the Habit appeared to be the singing nun's final curtain call. Then, in 2018,Disney announcedSister Act 3 was officially in development. Last year, the third installment of Sister Act attached Tom Federle (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) to direct.
