The Spice Girls Are Making a New Movie In Which They Become Superheroes

News that the Spice Girls might be reuniting shook the world, as did Victoria Beckham's revelation that she would not be going on tour (opens in new tab) with the gang ever again. But fans of the group need not despair, as it's now been revealed that the Spice Girls will reunite (opens in new tab) for a new movie, and this time they'll be superheroes!

According to Variety (opens in new tab), the Spice Girls reunion is on (opens in new tab), but it's taking a slightly different form than expected. Instead of going on tour, all five original members of the group will voice their own characters in an animated movie.

Variety reports (opens in new tab) that, according to a source, "all five members of the group have signed off on their likenesses being used for a superhero-themed movie working off of the 'girl power' message. Each character will be voiced by a Spice Girl... and feature a 'girl power' unique to that group member that reflects each girl’s personality." This is literally the best news anyone's had all week.

The source also revealed that all five members of the group are "fired up about the idea," which is unsurprising seeing as they reunited on International Women's Day (opens in new tab) to discuss new projects. The fact that the animated movie would inspire young women everywhere, and showcase five strong female role models, is right on-brand for the Spice Girls.

Clearly, the successful group has major plans, with Variety's source (opens in new tab) adding, "The Spice Girls are thinking big in terms of a franchise on a global scale. They’re the most successful girl group on the planet. It’s just what Marvel or Disney needs."
