Spice Girls to become superheroes in brand new film

A new animated Spice Girls film – including all five members, inluding Victoria Beckham – has been confirmed by Paramount Studios bosses.

The film will tell the story of the quintet uniting as superheroes. 

Beckham alongside Emma Bunton, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Mel B will all lend their voices to the movie as well as some brand new songs.   

“They are very involved,” the president of Paramount Animation has said, adding that girl band “had an idea [they'd] been developing”, as something of a passion project. 

The film is due for release in 2020 and is part of a slate of new cartoon projects, including a new SpongeBob Squarepants movie. 

It will be produced by 1990s music titan (and Spice Girls boss) Simon Fuller, and written by the team responsible for The House Bunny and Legally Blonde.

The Spice Girls’ first film, Spice World, was released in 1997.

The girl band's reunion tour has also been hit with complaints and demands for refunds, after persistent sound issues

Millions of people attempted to purchase tickets for the Spice Girls’ long-awaited reunion tour when sales opened last November.
