With the Spice Girls having recently celebrated 25 years since the release of Wannabe, a number one smash that kickstarted a dazzling run of number ones and million selling albums, the idea of a biopic has been floated and speaking recently, Mel C mentioned the name of a very well known figure in the Star Wars galaxy who might be perfect to play her, none other than Daisy Ridley.
The pop group had been discussing making a sequel to their 1997 film Spice World: The Movie – but Mel, who admits her acting skills hadn’t quite been honed at the time, is planning for a biographical film insead.
She says: “I feel like it’s a really good time to explore a biopic, especially after seeing Queen’s one, and Rocketman was amazing. “The Spice Girls’ story and music would really work in that genre.”
But Mel has no plans to feature, personally. “I don’t want to see this face on a big screen,” she laughed.
“Someone said Daisy Ridley would be a good Sporty.”
